Monday was my first day back at work. I was going to leave both boys at home with Grandma and I had spent Sunday night getting everything prepared...or so I thought.
Monday morning began at 3am when Trey woke up and wanted to nurse.
I quickly gave Trey to Tyler to burp and put back to sleep as I walked Tanner back to his room to get him back to sleep. All Tanner wanted to talk about was "mommy work". After 45 minutes I left Tanner laying in bed with promises of returning to check on him. I made it back to bed and laid down for all of 5 minutes when Tanner was back at our bedside.
By this point I needed to get up and get ready for work. Tyler tried everything in his power to get Tanner to go downstairs to play with him so that he didn't wake Trey up but Tanner would not leave my side. So, he patiently sat on the bathroom floor while I proceeded to get ready for work.
By 6am Trey was back awake and wanting to nurse so here it is 6am on Monday morning and everyone is in the living room awake (well Tyler was dozing in the recliner).
I finally leave for work around 7am and decide that I really need coffee. I stop at my favorite coffee place to read a sign that says "Closed Forever". Talk about disappointing!
Then at work we have a child throw up all over the carpet. I make it through the work day and head to Babies R Us to buy much needed supplies for my pump. Now, two weeks ago Tyler and I found a rocker that we wanted to purchase at Babies R Us but they unfortunately were sold out and didn't know when they would be getting any in stock. They told us they weren't allowed to sell us the floor model. I see the rocker we want wrapped in plastic and think maybe they received a new shipment and that my day might start getting better. Oh no...come to find out they still don't have any in stock and that they had just sold the floor model 15 minutes earlier.
Needless to say by the time my head hit the pillow Monday night, I was exhausted and thought to myself, "Welcome to the life of a working mom."
What an early morning and crazy day, and what is up with everything falling apart from your almost normal routine. That coffee shop will I'm sure be missed by you, since they made you that special blend! And the chair business, what bad luck. Hopefully they will get more in soon, but usually when they sell the floor model, that means that the piece has been discontinued. I hope not for your sake. God bless
