Back to the old grind

I went back to work today.  It was easy and hard all at the same time.  I didn't do the drop off which made things a lot easier on me.  I drove to work happily drinking my mug of tea as I have done countless times over the years.  I got to work earlier than I usually do thanks to the 5 am wake up call from my little friend.  I had also made the effort to get my clothes out and my lunch ready the night before so I would have less to do come morning.  Made for a rather relaxed morning getting ready for our new adventure.

In short, I survived and Grayson enjoyed his first time at daycare.  I felt like I had never left and also like therapist on her first day.  I was welcomed back by my residents and fellow coworkers as I made my way around the building.  It was nice to know that I had been missed.  Made me feel better and less guilty about going back to work.  Sure I missed my little man, but at the end of the day I was so excited to go get him.

And then we came home.  After some serious fussy time, we took a walk and then settled in for the evening.  Tomorrow is day 2.

  1. Yay! Going back to work is bittersweet (at least for me it was!) Glad the first day back was easy.
