A week of ups and downs has almost passed.
The downs were:
- stressed kids and stressed parents because of new school
- a lot of crying due to abovementioned stress
- having to start work again
- Son#1 had a hysterical meltdown this morning because he broke all his school supplies. Sigh. Guess all his savings and pocket money will be footing the bill, won't it? Sayonara money!
The ups were:
- Son#1 and Son#2 have both made friends - I even managed to fob both boys off to unsuspecting parents for impromptu playdates
- Son#1 is in his element at school, although Son#2 still cries a lot but he must be exhausted from all things new
- Work started again officially today and it was o.k. - I'm teaching a new course as well this year, and it's interesting (now just to get rid of the rest of the boring stuff)
- I lost a full, round 2 kg from eating WELL (a.k.a. fruit detox) and actually enjoy eating only fruit during the day
- I had enough energy to clean the playroom last night (and trust me, energy doesn't come round my way very often - have to grab it when it does)
All in all, the good outweighs the bad - as it should in life.
