A FULL work day

Monday, June 23rd

Monday was a fairly normal day for us. The only unusual thing about Monday was that I worked MUCH more than I do normally in one day. Usually, I work 5-10 hours a week for the medical office I work for. This particular Monday I worked 7 hours! It is very interesting to juggle working and taking care of Kenzie. Chip didn't work until Monday night, so the first few hours of my work in the morning were very steady, but once he leaves for work it gets pretty interesting. Basically, it takes me about 1.5-2 hours to get 1 hour in of work when Kenzie is awake because I am constantly having to clock out to get her snacks, read her books, get her "unstuck" from places, etc. My timecard looks pretty funny on days I try to work while she's up. Anyway.....that was a long day for me. My back was very tired from sitting so long as well. But I had to get the work done since we were leaving on Wednesday. And I did : ) So I was happy!

Chip also had a crazy work experience that Monday. The power went out in about a square mile area around Joe's....so they had to close the restaurant early. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time in 10 years that they have closed this early (they closed at 5:45) and didn't reopen at all that night. The power outage caused some chaos, but they got everything straightened out in the end. But he came home quite tired as well.

I remember those days of trying to get work done with a toddler exploring and being very pregnant! I wish I could go back and experience it once again! As tiring as it is, it is also a treasure! :)
