I Survived

my first two days back at work and am actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

I didn't have any nerves, no stomach churning beforehand. I was made to feel so welcome, particularly by Fran, the colleague I'll be working most closely with. I guess knowing the environment, some of the people, some of the frameworks helped. Also, having my gorgeous sets of grandparents caring for our girls is major relief.

It was different second time round - I wasn't anywhere near as terrified of being away from Leila as I was from Ella - honestly, I didn't worry at all! She hasn't taken it without a fuss though - she didn't nap at all today - she was awake from 6am to 6:30pm when I got home. She saw me, gave me the hugest cuddle ever, really snuggled in, had a big feed and went out like a light. Geoff's out with mates tonight for a rare Christmas get together, so all three girls may well be asleep before it's dark.

I feel strangely content - life's good.

We got our card today - thanks! Daisy loves the flower shaped sequins and the pink pen Ella wrote with. The card has taken pride if place on our mantle next to the decorated pinecone Daisy made at play group.
