Yesterday was a Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day. Nate woke up at 4 a.m. which means, so did I. We ate, we played, we cleaned up an exploding coffee pot. It turns out that when the carafe isn't in all the way, the water backs up and goes everywhere. Fun times!
We got to daycare right at 7, filled out some more forms and then gave our baby away. It sucked. This is the first time I've handed my baby to someone that he wasn't related too and then left. I held it together until we were outside then I promptly started to cry.
Work was... work. It was a strange combination of the familiar and the new. I was gone for four months but everyone else went on, business as usual. The temp we hired to help out while I was gone is going to stay on until June, other people have left for other opportunities. My boss is still my boss, handing out vague edicts and then getting upset when the task isn't done to his specification.
Overall, I did ok. I held it together and didn't call to check up on him. I didn't lose it at all - until we got home. Then I just had a regular old sob fest. I have no idea what happened to me, but as soon as I got Nate out of his carseat I could not stop crying. It's the oddest reaction. I expected that kind of break down when I dropped him off, not when I picked him up!
I did eventually get myself back together. Nate had a bit of a rough afternoon. They didn't have his formula, or his bottles at the daycare and his tummy was hurting. Some gas drops and a two hour nap later he was back to normal.
Now it's day two. I barely slept last night (my minds fault, not Nate's) so we'll see how long I last.
