The "Woes" of Motherhood

Last Tuesday, Mommy went back to work. It was bittersweet and as much as I love my job, I love being a mom more. So, when Tuesday (Sept 16th) came, I surprised myself at how together I was. Focused. Driven. One of those moments where, if you stop to slow down, everything will come crashing down. It was as if I had everything set in my mind and once that was done, I felt like, "now, what do I do?".

I knew that Mason would be well taken care of with Mindy Plum and I do believe he LOVES going to the Plums house. I checked up on him twice that day. It sounds as though he likes to ride in the car for the carpool of all the kids to school. And well, I think they like him just as much as Mindy said each child took their turn sitting next to him. I think Mason will be a bit of a social butterfly (kinda like his father)!

The saddest part is coming home at the end of the day and Mason being asleep already and only being able to see his groggy, teary eyes when I wake him up to feed him for the last time at night. Needless to say, we are learning the routine. We are over our colds (I think) and hopefully getting back into the swing of things. I keep waiting for Mommy's breakdown, the days that follow can add up and sap my emotional and physical strength. I have to say it is nice to have a three day weekend. With that in mind, we will see how week two goes.
