Survival Mode

I survived my first day back at work. There were no tears and no major melt downs, by myself of course, for the whole day. I was quite proud of myself. I'm sure my calm nature was directly related by the fact my sweet mother was with the children. Also, I didn't have time to think about anything other than how to do my job when I got to work. (I haven't worked the particular shift for almost two years.) I was very relieved to finish my shift an hour and a half early, and somehow I made it through without any Dr.'s yelling at my for my post-pregnesia. I'm sure I did several things wrong, but they, the doctors, were all probably so worried about making the "hormonal, just off maternity leave nurse" have a break down in front of them they never said anything! Anyway, the kids were pretty good to my mom for her first day with them. Joey only cried for a few hours and blew out once and I think Katie sailed on through! Thanks again mom. And thanks to all my lovely co-workers for helping my through my first day back!

Now I just have to survive the next five days without a husband, and one more day of work. That's right, no husband! He left this afternoon for a trauma conference in beautiful sunny Florida. The weather in Florida is a balmy 75 degrees for the next five days. The Utah weather report calls for snow! What is up with this spring??
