Hi Ho, It's Back to Work We Go

So Tuesday was my first day back at work. Grady was supposed to go to the babysitter's house, but Mikey ended up keeping him at home. That definitely eased my mind and made my day at work much easier! He did go to the babysitter's house on Wednesday and I rushed out of work at 3 pm to go pick him up. Thursday morning, I took him myself and I cried all the way there and then all the way to school! I had to pack my makeup so I could reapply before I got to work! I'm sure he's fine... it's probably harder on me than on him! I enjoyed being back at work, seeing my students, and my friends. It's just hard to juggle both, especially when I am not getting a good night's sleep. Grady woke up at 4 am two days last week and by the time he finished nursing, it was time for me to get up... and he also still wakes up in the middle of the night, usually around 1 am. So I'm not sure if I'm doing my job effectively, but I am doing my best! Everyone says, isn't it a nice break to come to work? I think that is so funny to consider working a "break" from your child! While I do enjoy my job, I would MUCH rather be home with Grady. I feel like I am missing out. I look forward to the weekends, especially the morning time after Grady first wakes up, because that's his happiest time of the day. Now that I am back to work, I miss out on that.

Next week he'll be 10 weeks old and it will be time for his THREE month pictures in
just a few weeks. Time flies!
