Back to the Grind

Well, I had to return to work yesterday for the first time in seven weeks. It was a strange change of pace. First, I realize that we, well I really, have to get up significantly earlier. I was running a tad late getting up at 6, so 5:30 is my new alarm setting, blah!! Next, a sleeping baby isn't very easy or pleasant to wake up. Carson is like his father, crabby until fully awake. He will lay in his crib for a half hour stretching, looking around, and yawning. Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of time in the a.m., so he isn't able to properly wake up. This does not make him happy. By the time he is in the car though, he settles down some.
It wasn't as heart-wrenching as I thought. It was sad to leave, but I didn't cry. The hard part was picking him up and then having to leave a couple of hours later to go to my new kick-boxing class.
  • SIDEBAR--Let me just rant about the class...It was the most difficult thing I have ever done! Afterwards I could hardly walk!! I had to have Greg massage my legs!
Back to the topic...When I finally got home, Carson was sleeping. It was a disappointment. I wanted to chill with my baby. So, in the end, work wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. The most difficult part was not spending very much time with him after work. I am very much looking forward to the summer when I can spend lots of time with him!
