Mommy's/Finley's/Sienna's First Day Back at School and Daddy's First Day at His New Job

Today was Mommy's first day back at school and it started with the natural alarm clock of Sienna having a major blow-out at 5:20 am. Of course, in the process of cleaning her up, Finley woke up. Right away she knew this day was different and she said, "Mom, I feel a little sad today." When I asked her why, she told me she didn't want me to go back to work and she started bawling. She bawled on the floor of the bathroom the entire time I took a shower and she wouldn't let go of me when I got out. Cam, who stayed up late working on his school project, was going on 3 hours of sleep to top it off. Due to all the commotion, I didn't get to school early like I'd planned and only had 15 minutes before the kids came in. Naturally, this time was spent in my office pumping instead of getting organized and figuring out what I was actually going to do in class. I managed to make it through my day...but just barely.

Meanwhile, Cam drove his project to school in Minneapolis while Luke watched the girls. When he returned, he got the girls ready and headed to Kids Count. Finley got to move up to the next classroom and she was busy all day playing with her old friends and meeting new ones. Daddy said Finley came up to him twice and said she needed him but she immediately went back to her classmates without any problem. Miss Carrie said Sienna reminded her of Finley when she cried, although she didn't do it much! All things considered, the day was as smooth as it could be and we're all looking forward to getting into a routine again.
