Pumpkin Patch and The Inevitable...... WORK

Hey folks,

Again I've been trying to find the time and the right mind frame to be in to sit and type some wonderfully humerous blog, however, I'm limited on both subjects. Trying to eat dinner, catch up on Modern Family, and type a new blog update so please excuse any spelling or grammar errors. From the top:

Two weeks ago we ventured out with my family to the ole' Pumpkin Patch. We tried a new site this year, Pumkins Galore in Foristell and was very pleased with the outcome. Once again I took several adorable pic's so I'm leaving the link for any viewers, and below are the highlights. Little Samuel slept through just about the whole entire day. I guess the children playing and sound of the Bluegrass tunes in the background were the perfect mixture of a sweet lullaby. J took his first pony ride which he loved and Ky and Chloe did all they could to squeeze in every activity before the end of the day.

Then there was the dreaded return to work. Those closest to me know that I may have.....ok I totally had a mental breakdown that began Wednesday morning and continued through the Friday morning drop off. As I sat in the parking lot I wiped the tears from my face, took a deep breath, and begin the walk to our front entrance. I stepped into the lobby was hit with the familiar smell that often reminds me of my dentist office. Then turned the corner and was immediatly hit with the flourescent lighting that leads me to the cube farm where I spend a disturbing amount of my life. Still managing to hold myself together it took one look from my coworker (who I refer to as "work-mom") to turn on the waterworks. At this point I wasn't sure how I was going to manage. So after telling a few stories of how proud I am of my little boy I begin digging into my emails which seemed to quickly take my mind off the situation. The next thing I know it was 11:00 and almost time for lunch. I of course call "Miss Val" ( and continue to do so every day) to check on my little man. Once she assures me that he is doing well I can go on about my business and before you know it the work day is over. I chose to go back on a Friday which was probably the best decision I've made since Sam was born. Now that I have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday under my belt I am confident that I have made the right choice in being a working mom. I never thought I'd say it, but I've learned I just do not fit the bill of a stay at home mommy. Some may think that's selfish and others selfless, all I know is that it works for me. So now the challenge will be to try and find the time to update blogs and capture every little moment of Sammy B but a few more weeks and I should have this down pat.
