Tuesday was my first day back at work. Natalie, of course, chose Monday evening to not sleep very well meaning mom did not sleep very well. I did manage to get through the day at work but felt pretty tired. No one expected too much of me though so it worked out ok. I managed to get through a good portion of my emails. People were happy to see me back and I found a bunch of stuff that didn't get done while I was away. Ugh. I was hoping to avoid having to touch a lot of it again!
Natalie did ok at day care. She ate fine (phew!) but didn't sleep very good; just 20-30 minutes at a time. That improved throughout the week so I feel she was adjusting ok. She was definitely happy to see me when I picked her up. Dad is dropping her off every morning while Mom deals with Lexi and then Mom picks up both girls at the end of the day.
Lexi woke up on Thursday and vomited a little so Dad stayed home with her. She was sluggish all day and did lots of napping though didn't have a temperature until late in the day. Friday was an inservice day so she was going to stay home anyway. She has seemed mostly normal since then but with not much of an appetite and getting tired easily. Today (Monday) there was also no school and I hope when she wakes up tomorrow she feels normal again.
On Saturday morning, we woke up to a sprinkling of snow on the ground. It had frozen on top though so it was rather crunchy on the grass. Lexi stomped around in it a bit then declared she was cold and had to go back inside. We had lesson #2 of her swimming lessons; it did not go smoothly. Lexi was excited to go and did the first thing just fine but then pretty much cried and protested through the rest of it. I think it was a combination of feeling cold (the kids sat on the ledge of the pool while the teacher explained something) and then being scared. I am praying that next week goes better. I really don't want her to be scared of the water.
