{5 days ago, on the top deck of a double-decker, Piccadilly Circus}
... to somewhere else completely. Have gone from holiday mode to home life, and it's thrown me for a loop. The jetlag is killing me (oh look, it's 4 a.m. and I'm awake again). It's been difficult trying to get back into a routine because it's sort of an in-between time right now. School starts in 6 days. It's pouring rain (thanks a lot, English weather, for following us home to Canada) and summer feels as though it's come to an end rather abruptly. I have preschool to get organized (it's a co-op and I'm the vice-president), school supplies to buy and lessons to plan for some grade or other (would someone please tell me what I'm going to be teaching?!) Oh yeah, and I should be training for a 5k run, too! There is so much to do, and all I want to do is sleep... I hope this feeling passes. And fast. I am happy to be home, but don't quite feel like myself yet. Any advice for leaping headlong, and happily, into September?
Oh, goodness...I feel you on this one! I had to return to work today, and it was a complete and total bummer.
ReplyDeleteMy prescription for today: One soy Chai Latte. And a weighty handful of cookies.
Best of luck on adapting to normal life. :)
P.S. So funny to hear that you and Cassie thought of me, as I'd been thinking of you two while I was in Ireland, knowing that you were both closer than ever! :)
oh jet lag is awful! i can't remember what i did after coming home from england... i probably blocked it out of my memory because it was horrible. :) are your boys handling it any better or do you have a whole house full of awake people at 4am?
ReplyDeletei say find little things to make you happy during the grumpiness. :) and if you find something that works well let me know, i'll be in the same jet lag boat in a month.
Oh my golly! You do have so much on your plate and I'm sure that jet lag doesn't help at all. Good luck getting everything crossed off your to-do list and returning to normal life again.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how tough it must be to go away for so many days and then be thrown back into the craziness of Fall! That picture is tres, tres cute though :)
