Back to Work

I kept dreading today, but it was inevitable. Today was my first day back to work:( I prepped everything last night and made a plan to leave the house by 7:15am. Jas' prediction was that I would be an hour behind schedule, but I managed to get out the door only 10 minutes late! I was determined to prove him wrong!! If Chase hadn't decide to poop as I was buckling him in his seat we would have made our departure time:) We ended up being later than expected actually arriving to the daycare provider's house because I drove right by my turn and made it another few minutes down the road before I remembered. No, I didn't forget Chase was in the car, you just get in a mindset when you drive the same way every day for years, and her house is on the way to work for me! So after trying to be swift and take a back road, which ended up dumping me in a business park, I had to completely backtrack to my original missed turn. I'm not going to lie...Chase heard a few choice words from mommy, but only after we had hit the third set of light rail crossings with red lights!

After we finally got there and a brief goodbye(I got my few tears out last night), I headed to work for a pretty busy day. The fact that I needed to catch up on so much kept me occupied enough to prevent me from being a anxious mom all day. Both times when I checked in Chase was doing fine, and the day ended up going pretty quickly. He greeted me with a little smirk when I went to pick him up which was adorable and of course made me smile. He was happy and so was I. One day down...
