Back to Work

Today was my first day to "officially" be back at work after 8 weeks off with Roan. I say "officially" b/c I had been doing plenty of school work from home wishing I could get some comp time for it....still working on that. I am super tired so I am going to make this quick...I think.

Roan is staying at Joseph's parents during the day now that Tonnie is retired. She had come into LaGrange to pick him up this morning to make it easier for all of us....so we thought. When we were putting Roan in the car Madeline realized that SHE was not getting to go with Mimi and this is when it all started. She cried for Mimi and wanted to go with her. Once they drove off and we went into the house to load up all of my "school work" to take back Madeline was screaming for her "baby brother!" So odd when not 10 minutes before that she was pinching him (and not in a nice way)! I finally got her and her alligator tears into the car and off to school we were. Now normally Madeline will hop out of the car and run into school while I have to beg for a kiss before she is in her classroom. Today, she didn't want to go to school and clung to me like a monkey in a tree. She was crying and wanted to stay with Mommy (my heart is breaking now)! I tried to talk to her about what fun she was going to have and that she would get to nap with Mrs. Gladys..but today she wanted to nap with Mommy. Mrs. Becky got her into the classroom and I had to make a mad dash out the door before I felt I would cry, and didn't want to be late on my first day back! So the agenda for tomorrow is to take Madeline to school FIRST then take Roan out to the Willrich Farm...I'll let you know how that goes.

I was also proud of myself for only forgetting 2 things this morning. One being my lunch, but I managed to eat some tasty cafeteria food, and the second one being Roan's CAR SEAT!! Now this isn't a little thing to forget but at least I only forgot 2 things right! I picked Madeline up after school and headed out to Ammannsville to get Roan. We pull into the drive and I look back to get Madeline out and realize that there is an EMPTY base sitting next to her where the car seat should be sitting. I then remember that the car seat is sitting in the kitchen. I normally don't take the seat out of the car b/c it is so heavy but Joseph used his "big muscles" on Sunday and brought Roan in the house in the seat and since I didn't have to drive him out to their house...it never made in back in the car. So Tonnie and Jerry had to follow me back into town to bring my son home....oh what a day! Now I am tired and ready for bed.

This was Madeline last Thursday for another color themed day at school. I'll let you guess what the color of the day was..
