Ouch...

I think I am too old to work! Oye. This morning was my first day covering a whole day at work, starting at 7 am. Really? I used to do this before? I could be awake and ready to treat someone by 7 in the morning? Seriously? Huh.....

I had so much fun today. I was PT Moni, people listened to what I had to say, I got the answers for them from somewhere, I was able to help people feel a little better and I had so many adult conversations! It was wonderful! Did I miss Delanah? Of course. I'm used to spending all day with her. But I would by lying if I didn't say how good it felt to step back into my working shoes. It did take some time for us all to step back into our roles once I got home though. I think we're all used to me being home; DG and Dave had a harder time with my role as a working mom.

So, the ouch is on two levels. 1 - my right SIJ is trashed. It's been bothering me for some time, but standing all day today, yeah, not the best thing ever. I was in a whole heap of pain tonight; felt so old! 2 - I love working, but I hate coming home to have Dave tell me how wonderful everything was. How there were no issues, attitudes were great, etc. Makes me feel like I can't get anything done when I am home normally. Now, to be honest, nothing that I usually get done was done. DG was in day care, no vacuuming, no play dates, no errands, no cleaning, no laundry. But still, it would be nice to hear a "we missed you" and "thank you for all you do when you're home"....my issues, my issues.

While I was still working I was offered a few more days at the end of the month, and I might take them. I need to look into day care options and whether or not Meemaw can watch DG for me those days. It's just nice to have that option right now. It's nice getting paid, yes, but I love what it does for my frame of mind...I love feeling like I have something to contribute. I think I am rambling again. I am so darn tired! I don't remember work making me this tired before.
