I Survived...
my first day back to work. It definitely wasn't the best day of my life but I survived. Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and Stephanie, her sitter, is awesome. I only cried for a few minutes right when I left the house and right when I got to work. Luckily Curtis got the short end of the stick and has to drop her off and I get to pick her up. I missed seeing her smiley face and kissing her wet cheeks today! By the way Mom, Curtis didn't forget about her and leave her in the backseat! He even got a little teary eyed when he left her. We will probably be eating cold cereal a lot for dinner on the days that I work because I won't want to put her down the entire night! At least we'll save some money! Here's to another day of fun tomorrow!I'm so glad to only be working part time. It gets easier, right?

so sad for paigey poo. i am sure calla missed you too. you'll be glad to have adult conversations every other day though.
Sounds like you did better than me my first day back for work. I had to return for 60 days to fulfill insurance requirement and then I was out of there. But when I got home my first day, I held Gavin and bawled for an hour. Literally I ripped him out of car seat and held him. It didn't help that it was education week on campus and I was behind every slow poke on the road. I was so mad that day driving home. Seriously. Sean came into Gavin's room after five minutes and asked what I was doing (the massive crying fit). 'I have to leave him everyday and I don't bawl' is what he said. Yeah, but I had been with Gavin everyday for the last 3 months is how I replied. Sadly, it does get easier. And actually the second day was harder than the first- for me at least. It felt like the first day of school my first work day back. I was excited but anxious to see everyone again. And everyone was so nice and excited to see of my babe. The second day reality set in. I don't know if this will help you, but I thought I would at least share another's experience. Luckily yours is part-time work but I couldn't wait to see my kid everyday. Good luck and I will think of you!
That is so funny that your mom is all worried about Curtis leaving her in the backseat. That is a huge fear of mine too! Whenever Dave takes her somewhere I remind him that she is back there. He thinks I am crazy. Good luck on adjusting to working and being a mom!
I was thinking about you! I'm sure it will get easier. She is too cute and I'm sure you missed that chunker. It will make the time you are with her better!!
Way to go Paige! You are so amazing. The mommy, the PA, the triathlete!! I wish I was YOU!!
