So... How Did It Go?

Yesterday was my first day back at work and Cole's first day at daycare. How did it go?

7:30     Drop Off with Jason. Tears rolling down the face from the time we walked in and most of the drive to work (yes, me, not Cole)

9:00     Bagels and Coffee to start the day (thank you Patty) and then getting caught-up on office gossip... and client status

11:00     Call daycare - Cole is doing great though I feel like they are holding something back. Ok, paranoia. I guess what I secretly wanted to hear was "Cole won't stop crying. He misses you so much. Guess you'll just have to come get him now".

12:30     Grabbed lunch with Becky. Have realization that it feels like I was never gone. I really didn't think it would be so easy to get right back into the swing of things.

2:00     Make Jason call and check on Cole while in meetings. Have a hard time reading presentation because I'm humming The Itsy Bitsy Spider in my head... missing Cole SO much.

4:00     Meetings are done and I'm sprinting to the door. Can't WAIT to grab my lil' man.

4:15     Hopes and dreams of getting Cole early are shattered due to accident on 94. Proceed to sit in traffic, swearing, for 50 minutes.

5:30     FINALLY get to grab Cole! He's had a great day with lots of small little catnaps. He's eaten like a champ and was talking to Merita (daycare lady). I'm so excited I could cry... Proceed to cry the entire drive to pick Jason up from the bus. This is a cry out of happiness and sadness. This is my life now.
