All Good Things Must Come to an End

Today is a sad day... It is my last day on maternity leave. I am happy and sad at the same time. I want to go back to work. I enjoy my job at a 911 dispatcher, most people cannot say that they like their job. I like my coworkers and I miss seeing them everyday. Most of all I miss human interaction on a daily basis.
I will miss Mason, but the positive of my job is that I am on a "swing shift." My days off change every four weeks. I work 2 8a-4p shifts, 2 4p-12a shifts, and 1 12a-8a a week, this means that Mason will only be in daycare part time. For Example: This week he is only going tomorrow from 3:30-4 and then Friday from 8-4. Next week will be Monday for 2 hours, Thursday for 2 hours, and Friday for 8 hours.
I have been to the daycare center and looked at the set up and had a lot of my questions answered. I feel comfortable leaving him with the people there, but I am having the normal nervousness. At least I think it is normal.

I got my hair cut and colored last night. It is amazing how that can make me feel great afterwards. That is one of the things I could never give up if we had to go on a strict budget, I would get a second job to pay for it.
Michelle watched Mason while I was there and he wore a special outfit for her and Uncle Michael.
In this county Tuesday is the night that Firemen go to the firehouse for maintenance/meetings/etc. Michelle, Michael, & Tim are on the fire department so Mason had to wear the appropriate shirt :) He wore is Sunday too, but he spit up on it before we got to see Uncle Michael and Aunt Michelle.

Today we are going to try to run some errands... this is my first time taking him to stores alone. Wish me luck.

  1. I didn't know you were a 911 dispatcher. When I was little, I called 911 on my sister because she was choking. I wanted to be on the show Resuce 911. HA!

    Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed your maternity leave... You'll be a little sad tomorrow, but Mason will be just fine. :)

  2. Mason just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Seriously!! Going back is hard but your schedule is nice with the flexibility and hours. You can do it mama! Glad you found a good daycare that you're comfortable with too!
    Let us know how it goes!!
