Today was the dreaded day of returning to work. I don't know where the last 6 weeks went! I am only doing half days till after Thanksgiving, which will hopefully make the transition easier. Jenna did really well going to bed last night at 11pm. She didn't get up till 6am! She sleep so well now which is such a blessing. I got up at 5am to pump and then shower. Jenna isn't the fastest eater so pumping and having Austin feed her in the mornings will help with getting out the door on time. Everything went like clock work this morning.
Alyson is going to be our fabulous babysitter and was up and waiting for us at 7am. I was explaining everything to Al and realized I had left the milk in the freezer! I felt horrible! How could I have forgotten something so important? I lost it at that point. I was hoping Jenna would just sleep the whole time (4 1/2 hours). I cried to the car, called Austin and cried some more. By the time I got to work, I was fine. I just prayed she'd be ok.
My students were so happy I was back. And part of me was glad to be back too. I do love my kids and I've been very pleased with how much they've learned since I've been gone. My sub has been amazing! My co-workers have been a big help as well. I know I couldn't have made it through the 6 weeks without them! Thanks ladies!
I called Alyson at 9:00 and she said Jenna was sleeping. I just prayed she'd hold on for 2 more hours! As I was leaving to go get her, I called Alyson and she said that Jenna was a little fussy, but not bad. I asked Al how long she'd been awake and she said only about 20 min. Thank goodness she slept for so long!
Goal for tomorrow: Don't forget the milk!!
