Back to work

Today I went back to work for half a day to clean off my desk, check email and a variety of other things. I had tried to prepare myself all week for today but I knew it is never easy to leave your babies behind even when you know they are in loving, caring, capable hands. Stan and I both went this morning to bring the tribe. The boys were confused as to what was going on as that is not the normal routine. I teared up as we drove away and was pretty sad all the way to work. It was a long 30 minutes! I got to work and started up the computer and went to get some water. On the way ran into many co-workers and shed a few tears. So much emotion from the week. I can be an emotional person so for my co-workers to see me cry is nothing new. I knew it was going to be a hard week when I cried watching the Baby Story and the return of the American journalists from North Korea this week! I think back to when the boys were babies and the dreaded first day back to work. With Keegan I only took 4 1/2 weeks off and was a wreck when it came time to go back. I cried eating breakfast before I even left the house and I cried all the way to work and pretty much all morning! Then came Aiden. I was able to take off 8 weeks with him and by the end of that time I felt ready to get back into a routine. Shed a few tears but not near as many as with Keegan. Going back to work and leaving the kids behind will never be easy. If it was I wouldn't be human. Joselyn did great at daycare which I praying for:) Next week it will be all day so it was nice to be able to ease into it (mainly for me).

Have a great weekend!
