Well the morning started out great. Zach was so excited to go back to school. I don't know what it is with him and me but as soon as we get to school his mood totally changes. He turns into a stinker! ...and I mean a stinker.
He clings to me, throws a fit and just won't cooperate at all. I tried to get some cute pictures of him and his first day. Well you see how that turned out.
Hiding behind the door
I also had a little bit of a melt down myself. I think it was a mixture of things, being a working mom and wishing I could do the simple every day things that mom's do. Like picking your kid up from school...seeing how their day is first hand instead of asking hours later and getting the same response every day...I DON'T KNOW. Stressing out of how to get him to school, pick him up and to the daycare too and not being in trouble with work or working til 8:00 pm. I am sure being a little emotional about Grandma B didn't help the situation either. I cried to Miss Lisa when I was leaving.
Then cried to Megan like a boob when I went to pick Zach up that day, and even more so when she told me with a smile and cheerful grin that she was more than happy to help me out with whatever. She is my angel. She is going to pick Zach up at daycare every school day and then take him back there after school so I can go to work earlier and have a better schedule. I didn't get off work last year until 7:00 at night because I had to take Zach to school every day. Now I might be able to get dinner on the table before 9:00 and have homework and violin practice completed without pulling my hair out. Talk about flopping into bed ready to die. I owe Megan BIG TIME!
After school was a different story....I walked with Lexi to pick him up and he was all smiles and happy.

I would love to help you out anytime Megan cannot pick or take Zach to the daycare. Really, call me. He can go through Wong's yard to get to my house! We would love to do that and Matthew would love it too! We may just have to do it one day for a playdate!
Anytime you need anything you can call me too! I would be more than willing to help out taking Zach where he needs to go. You have so much on your plate you are entitled to tears when you feel overwhelmed! Call me if you ever need anything or just want to talk!

It is so hard to balance work and family! That mommy guilt gets the bes of you sometimes. What we all need to remember if the mommy guilt was not there we would not be the amazing moms we are.....that means we care and love them SOOOO much!
