I Survived

Well, yesterday was my first day back to work and I didn't think that I was going to survive the day without Caylee-Grace but I did. It wasn't fun but the day did go by fast. We are really busy at work and that will help the day go by fast. I have cried for 4 days now. Last night when I got home and got in the door and saw her I cried again. I was so happy to see her. I had another breakdown at bed time and cried myself to sleep. She woke up at 3 am this morning so I have been up since 3am. I don't know about this working. I'm so overwhelmed right now. I know in time it will be better, not easier but better. It ought to be a sin for mothers to have to work outside the home. I HATE IT!

I went to the doctor Tuesday and he said I would have to stay on the blood pressure medicine since my pressure wasn't low enough to get off. Oh well maybe one day I will get off of it. I probably won't be blogging on a regular basis since my time is limited with Caylee-Grace now and all I will want to do it see her.

Since we have been so busy at work they are making it mandatory to work on Saturdays if all work isn't finished on Fridays so that isn't good either. I guess I will be taking Caylee-Grace with me or I just won't go they will have to deal with that because I would never see her if I had to work 6 days a week. How sad it is to be a working mom. I feel awful leaving her. Thanks for the encouraging words and support. I will continue to need ya'll's prayers and encouragement to get through this.

Love ya - hopefully will blog again soon.

I agree--it should be a sin for mothers to have to work outside the home, especially if it means you're away from them more than you're with them. Maybe someday you will be able to stay at home with her. Everyone is thinking about you and we are here to help in any way we can. I'll babysit anytime you need me.

I am so sorry you are so unhappy. I sure hope things will work out sooner than later and you will be able to stay home with her. I will keep praying for you. And I am here to help you, anytime.

Thanks for the encourging words Erin but Randal isn't ever going to let me stay home so I will just have to get use to it or just be miserable about it all the time. I'm so a zombie.

I am so sorry you are having a hard time. Even though I can't say I know how you feel I can tell you that I love you and am praying for you.
