I'm back at work - the cliff notes edition


Back to work. The days crept closer and closer and I completely ignored the reality of it. We were in Utah for a week, then it was my sister Darby's wedding, then all of a sudden the day was here. To sum it up simply there was a lot of crying, like A LOT. For the rest of the summer Nick is working Mon/Tues and I work Wed/Thurs/Fri until he goes back to school in the fall. So far Nick has proven himself to be a great "fommy" as he likes to be called. Here's a little recap:


My first morning back to work


All the stay-at-home moms words of comfort


Getting home and realizing I still get to spend 2.5-3 hours with Rory before bed


at work after being up half the night with Rory


Being reunited with my friends from work

Still got it even after being away for a year



Realizing it's already Friday and I get to be home for 4 days!


If I didn't love my job, and love what I do I'm sure this would be a lot harder. Some days are better than others, but I'm learning to settle into this new routine and trying to stay positive about it. I had a patient say to me yesterday "you're going to cure my cancer" with this sure look in their eyes and I was proud of the work we do and helping (hopefully) to make that possible.
