Working Girl


My first day back in action went a little like this:


6:00 Jump In the Shower

6:15 Evy Starts Fussing

6:17 Ding! Oatmeal is ready

6:18 Sit down to eat (ha!)

6:20 Evy is ready to eat

6:24 Evy is eating, I'm eating my oatmeal with my left hand at the same time

6:50 Change Evy's diaper and get her dressed

6:55 Evy is on her playmat, mom is drying her hair

7:30 Put a roast in the crock pot with an attitude that is a little less perky than Rachael Ray

7:35 Nursing supplies? Check. Banana? Check. Sanity? Eh.

7:40 Out the door. Scott is taking Evy to daycare

7:54 Ugh. I forgot how backed up Dubuque Street is in the morning.

8:00 Pull into the parking lot. Not bad.

8:03 Computer is booted up, email out of office assistant turned off, voice mail changed.

8:07 The "Oh, you're back" comments start
Bring it on...

Good job! And, I am sure you touched base with Scott to check on "drop-off" already! I am familiar with the drill. Enjoy your day!!!!

You need to send an updated version when you have to drop her off at daycare. Sounds like one heck of a busy morning. I can barely get myself ready in the morning and take the dog out!

Do they have a web cam at daycare so you can see how Evy's doing? Are you going to be a good girl and leave on time tonight?

ha ha ha ha... I feel for you! I'm impressed I got an email on the first day back. I'm sure you will get nothing done today;)
