Goals
Lauren and Brier,
Today your mommy accomplished a big goal. I ran a 1/2 marathon! This means nothing to you now, maybe some day it will. But to me, it means that I have started to show you that accomplishing your goals is possible (even when it seems like it isn't).
Your goals may not include running or anything physical for that matter, but whatever your goals are, you can reach them if you try hard, apply yourselves and believe you can.

Welcome to the real world
Three weeks ago I went back to work. It is and will continue to be a difficult adjustment for me due to work itself, but that's another post completely.
The girls however have adjusted very well to the daycare routine. Lauren started out rough as she was hitting and pushing the other children at daycare, but that seems to have subsided now for the most part. Brier has really done a great job with the whole thing, although she isn't napping much there, once she slept for 2 hours, but it has usually between 25-60 minutes. She is still as happy as ever despite the short naps.
The days are very busy for us all and we really only get to spend a couple of hours with the kids each day and those hours are filled with eating, bathing, crying and going to, or getting out of bed. The hours we get them are their worst and ours too for that matter. Brier is in bed by 6:30p.m. at the latest each night so her evenings are very short to say the least.
Weekends aren't much better because I am training for a 1/2 marathon so my long runs for the week are Saturday mornings, and the rest of the weekend is spent cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, doing laundry, and going to Lauren's swimming lessons.
It's not the most fun life, but it's ours!
