I took Schwen to the International Adoption Clinic at Nationwide Children's Hospital on Monday and also to the family doctor for her school physical. We found out that she is in the 25% for weight and 50% for height. She really entertained the translator with her stories and was very charming to the doctor as well. School started full time on Tuesday as I returned to work. She really seems to enjoy school (much more than I enjoy working). She is pretty tired though and we thought she was getting used to the new schedule until we found out today when she told our friend Julia that we never let her sleep! She was used to 12 hours of sleep a night and an hour and a half nap! Now its 10 hours a night and no nap.
Jia is enjoying school as well and was very happy that their class now has a gerbil named Jumpy. Her reading is improving and she is still waiting for that first tooth to get a bit looser!!
So I returned to work on Tuesday. By Friday the house was a mess, non-perishable foods (and one bag of missed frozen peas) has been sitting in bags on the floor since Wednesday, plus 3 baskets of folded laundry to be put away and 3 baskets to be folded. Whoever said you can work full time, have a husband who works full time, raise a family and keep it all together lied. There is just no way to be able to do it all...if someone knows how please let me know.
Tomorrow is Adam's birthday. The plan is for the girls and I to make him breakfast, make a cake, go to Yellow Springs to enjoy the fall colors and then go to his moms for dinner. Another exhausting day for the girls and we have to find time for homework in there also.
Fall is upon us. I enjoy the changing leaves and cooler temps...could do without all the rain. Hope to post new pics soon.
