I'm afraid that today is my last monday home alone with my sweet little Hunter Bean! :-(
Oh how I am going to miss him terribly when I restart work on the 3rd.
Just as the earth must orbit the sun, mom must have adult interaction and a little time apart. I know this...but it kills me so!
I have so many uncertainties...and this is another one that I must face. After switching his formula to the BabiesRUs brand, he became constipated. My sweet, sweet little man cried for an hour (before and after) trying to pass a stool with the consistency of a brick. Some people, immaturely, may laugh and say "ha. she's talking about her kid's poop on her blog!" Unfortunately, though, this is a very big deal and was VERY painful to him. I cried as he cried, but I doubt I was as red in the face. I dropped to my knees beside him and cried and prayed (yes, God hears EVERY prayer no matter how big or small). He soon stopped crying and Gentry watched him while I could go to WalMart and get the Enfamil brand of his formula again (decided while he was calm to finish grocery shopping too).
The woman at the cash register, was in a terribly foul mood. As she huffed and puffed (and all but blew my house in), I bit my tongue. I told her 'thank you' and 'have a nice day' with only growls in response. As she began to throw my groceries into their bags, I realized that saying something to her would only escalate the situation and I patiently waited for my total. I paid and had my receipt slammed down on the counter at me with a grunt, noticing years of frown lines and how this must not be the only bad day she's had.
When I got to the car, I realized that my greek yogurt was busted and had to go inside again for a refund. For the first time in my LIFE, I complained to the service desk about how mean the woman was to me. I wanted to cry for her, but I knew it was essential to tell the service desk how everyone in line before me and after me were being treated as well. I was polite and told the customer service lady that I realized she could be just having a bad day, but the fact of the matter is...(and my whole point for posting this) YOUR ATTITUDE IS CONTAGIOUS!!!
smile. if God is giving you another breath, a house to live in, a supportive family, food to eat, clothes to wear and a car to drive...etc etc....SHOW HIS LOVE...even when there is resistance!
okie doke. lets clean house. had to get that off my chest!

I soooo feel for you!! It's going to break your heart to drop him off and leave him anywhere. I went back to work when Austin was about a year old and it killed me. He cried and I literally had to pull him off of my leg. I knew the husband of the lady that was keeping him. I knew him pretty well, but didn't know her at all. It was terrible. We did this for a year and then they tried to change my schedule from 1st shift to 3rd, so I had to quite. It was a blessing!! I've only worked a public job about a total of a few months since then. I don't trust many people with my kids. Overprotective? Maybe, but I'd rather be that than have my kids hurt in any way. Will Hunter be in the daycare at work when you go back? I'm sure it will be a love/hate thing. You will love the adult interaction, but will miss the little guy. Have you ever tried the Enfamil GentleEase or anything for Hunter? It worked good for mine because they had colic/tummy troubles. Good luck chick!!! Will be praying for the both of u.
