Getting by

4 days down and just one more to go, well, this week anyway. The kids are getting comfortable with the sitter, there are still some tears (mostly mine) but all in all the transition has been fairly easy so far. However tomorrow I switch to the early shift, working 7am to 3pm, which is fantastic for having more time in the afternoon to play with the kids but I'm not really a morning person and I'm a bit worried about getting the kids up, dressed, fed and out of the house by 6:15. I know there are lots of people who do it but wow it seems like a big deal.
