Good luck Colleen,
it will probably take some getting used to. It took me MONTHS before I felt almost normal as far as energy level. I still really try to rest up on the weekends to make up for the exhaustion during the week.__________________________________________

Day 1 was AWESOME It's great to be around kids. But today I am ABSOLUTELY WORE OUT! Oofta! It does feel good to be back in life...as tired as I am though! My legs feel wobbly...strange. My hubby has been SOOOO helpful and has given me space when I get home...he knows me. A little bit of quiet does a world of good.
I'm glad I made the decision to go back as much as everyone around me told me not to...that it was too soon. I needed it for my own ego
Always Smilin'
