Back to work

My first day back to work was actually a lot better than I anticipated. The day started off by having to wake up extra early to make sure I got ready and got Connor ready to leave the house by 7:10. I knew if I was any later, I would be late to work. To my surprise I was actually ready on time and off we went. I took Connor in and took his picture (since it was his first day) and gave him a big kiss and looked in his adorable little eyes and said bye. That was the hardest part, he didn’t cry, he just stared at me leaving while Miss Vicki was holding him. I made it without any tears! When I got to work, I was greeted by Katie and then I noticed a sign on my door that said “Welcome Back” with pictures all around it of me and co-workers. Then, I found out they were getting donuts (chocolate with sprinkles for me). Yummy! It just kept getting better, we went to Olive Garden for lunch and then there was a cookie cake too! Oh and I had balloons tied to my chair in my office. I can’t say thank you enough (Katie and Andrea) for the thoughtful gestures to make my day the best it could be. I actually had a good day and didn’t think that much about Connor being in day care while I was at work. When I got to Miss Vickis to pick him up, she said he had a really good day. He was smiling and just as happy as he could be. However, when we got home, he did have a crying fit for a few minutes (I felt like he was telling me he was mad at me for leaving him, but I know that's not true). Clay also had me flowers and a card for my first day back at work to let me know he was thinking about me. This morning when I took him and he saw Miss Vicki, he smiled, so I felt better about it. I have to say that I have actually missed working these past few months and am glad to get back (but nothing beats hanging out with my little man). This week was only 2 days, next week will be the real test to see how Connor does 5 days straight with Miss Vicki. Here's to a great two days at work!
