The last 3 weeks of my life have been what I would call an emotional roller coaster. Parenthood is so different now that I have a walking, talking tornado named Cub in my house. He goes upstairs, downstairs, cries, yells, kisses, hugs, loves and screams. He is just something else. On Tuesday, he started day care, which is a miracle really. I was so nervous (still am so nervous), because he is too little to tell me if something bad happens to him. It scares me that he is not in my control for 8 hours a day, twice a week. But this week seemed to go well, and he came home to a rested mommy who had almost everything checked off her to-do list. Just being able to spread things out without someone’s sticky fingers touching and tearing them is a victory!

With Cub at day care, I have been able to normalize my workout routines, which has made me more than happy. Honestly, just getting a run in 2 mornings so far this week has made me more mellow. I feel like I can process thoughts and actions better, which is why I was so surprised when I freaked on Cub this morning. Well, let me put this into context with a simple math equation: (clearing my throat) Toddler+iPhone+Toilet=Disaster. That’s right, I am without a phone for the next 24 hours. UGH! But in the grand scheme of things, I freaked out less than normal, so PROGRESS!

I am having major Olympic withdraw. I miss my good morning cry when NBC would show a heart warming story about how someone gets inspiration from their dead mom. I made an executive decision that Cub will be the Decathlon gold medalist in the year 2032. He could be an Olympic wrestler or a setter/libero on the volleyball team and I would be ok with that too.

Work is nuts with a new school year starting, but I am feeling empowered to make decisions, get things done and continue to make Prep2Prep great.

Oh, and I haven’t told you about our new house! AWESOME! It is totally awesome. There is more room that I know what to do with, and I can easily send the boys downstairs to get them out of my hair. We are very happy here, and I am excited to move into fall and decorate for Cub.

So just a small update today, but with more free time, more posts are to come.
