Back to work full time sucks already

Yesterday was my first day back to work full time. This means I'm working a full day of 8:30-4:30. For those of you who know what I do and where I work you're probably thinking, "Come on Sara...it's really not that hard." In reality, the work isn't difficult and I am only a mere 5 minutes from where Aedan spends his day but...

But I am his Mom and he is my boy and I miss him terribly. Yesterday oddly wasn't too bad. This morning however was painful. Aedan woke up a little grumpy and didn't give me his usual cascade of gurgled laughs. Has he forgotten that I'm his mother already? Does he think that I am the babysitter? The guilt I've already been feeling from going back to work has slammed into me once again.

So I sit here counting down the hours until I can pick him up.

Aedan is still as beautiful as ever. I've told Pat that I think of him as our christmas present - each morning I walk into his nursery is like christmas with a perfectly wrapped (and sometimes smelly) little package that it just for us to enjoy.
