single parenthood

Well, it finally happened, I had to go back to work this morning. I know, you all are crying for me, because you feel terrible that I just finished a 6 week vacation and most of you have worked through the summer. Anyway, when the alarm went off at 5:00 I hit the snooze button several times. It was hard to drag myself to the shower. I got up, finally at 5:30, started my regular routine but somewhere in there, I forgot to put on my jewelry and make-up. Talk about looking scary today. I have 25 children on my list and everyone who sees the names tell me what a wonderful group I have. That is a relief.

Kiran was a trooper this morning. She slept while I dressed her, woke up in time to put on her seatbelt and fall back to sleep. She woke up when we got to daycare and has been smiling ever since. Her daycare loves her and she loves her daycare provider. Last night she did tell me that she was sad that summer was over and there wouldn't be that many mommy days. Then she asked if we would have next summer and told her we have around 13 more of them together.

I am feeling much better. On Thursday I celebrated the beginning of my 43rd year and it was like a new beginning. Maybe it was knowing I was starting back into my routine and wouldn't have so much time to think.

In the last two days, I started Weight Watchers again. Eating right and drinking my water also helps with my moods, that is for sure. It is a balmy 68 degrees outside and it is starting to feel like fall. Another reason to smile.

Thanks to everyone and their kind words. They really do help.

Luv ya,
