Back to Work

Yesterday was my first day back to work. I had been dreading it all weekend. I hardly slept the two nights before the big day. Much to my surprise, the day went very well. I was up by 5:00 a.m., fed Hannah at 5:30, and was out the door at 6:00. It helped so much to know that our good friend Sara would be taking care of her. It also helped that Jason was the one to drop her off! I got a little choked up when I walked out the door, but once I got to work I was ok.

I was supposed to have moved into the newly remodeled part of our building the Monday after I had Hannah, but obviously that didn't happen, so yesterday was also my first day in my new location. I spent the first four hours of the day in a meeting and the rest of the day just figuring out where everything was and how everything worked. I was very happy to see that we have a full-fledged Starbucks right inside our building! This could be very bad for the budget :-) Of course, I called to check to see how things were going with Sara and Hannah, but I limited myself to just doing it once.

Even though the first day back was better than expected, I was still totally anxious to get home to see Hannah. I was happy to hear that Hannah did great. I don't know what Sara's secret is, but Hannah was in a good mood all night long! I'm so glad that I have today off. I was so exhausted that I was in bed by 9:30 last night! I just don't know how full-time working moms do it.
