Back To Reality

I started back to work on Thursday, and it was very hard. I dropped Emmy off at daycare, and Sam's teacher saw that I was flushed.

I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this, but when you cry uncontrollably for so long, and then you finally get control, you lose it ever so quickly when someone asks you if you've been crying. Well, Sam's teacher noticed that I was flushed when I dropped Emmy off, and she did it. She asked me if I had been crying. Yes. I lost it!

I'm better now. I must admit that as much as I did not want to go back to work on Thursday, it has been nice to have some sort of schedule back and to have adult conversations. I was welcomed back with open arms. Apparently, I am valued at FedEx which is a nice feeling. One of the Region Staff members called the office, and when I answered the phone, she screamed in excitement that I was back. That was nice.

I'm glad to be back at work, but I would never had gone back if I didn't absolutely have to. The 6 weeks that I spent with Emmy was the best 6 weeks of my life. She is amazing! I remember holding her in front of me wondering what she and the other kids would grow up to be. I wonder which one is going to be the one that takes care of me and Rusty in our old age. I wonder which one will have the most kids.

Family has ALWAYS been very important to me, but looking into Emmy's eyes for 6 weeks has made me think of what the future holds for the Corley Clan.

I would never trade the past 6 weeks for anything in the world. It was such a special time, and I am thankful that I was able to experience it. Print this post
