Well, the dream is officially over. I started work again on Monday and it sucked! It was so hard to leave Jack and head down the road to my office. I broke down in the car as well as once I got into the office. I managed to pull it together before I met with my boss to play catch up but it was a rough morning. Jack is still not even close to sleeping through the night so lack of sleep isn't helping my frame of mind either!
In addition to my returning to work, Mike is away for his first out-of-town trip since Jack was born. Talk about a stress-filled week. Luckily, my mom is able to come down while he is away to assist my picking Jack up from daycare and tending to him during the night and in the morning before work. I have no idea how I am going to manage doing all of this on my own when Mike leaves for his next trip but I guess I'll have to figure it out fairly quickly!
I know it will get easier and that millions of moms have to go back to work and do so successfully every day, blah, blah, blah but it's hard for me damn it! So for now I have plenty of tissues and pictures of my little guy on hand, as well as the daycare number on speed dial so I can check in on how he's doing throughout the day.
