Tey is back to work this week and, for the past few days, we have been dropping off Lucas with my mom. With help from Lola and the new nanny/housekeeper, Mom will be keeping an eye on Lucas for us while we are at work. It has not been too hard on Tey; She�s been a strong mom. I�ve heard of stories about new moms breaking down when leaving their newborn with baby sitters or day care services. The fact that we are leaving him with a relative and not a stranger makes it a whole lot easier for us. I know many people do not have that luxury so we are very thankful for that.

Sad Mommy Going Back to Work

So far the new routine has been pretty tiring. I�m sure we will get adjusted sooner or later, but for now, I�m just beat. I get up around 5:30am to walk Koda since I don�t have any other time to walk him. I have to get back home by 6:15am so I can watch Lucas while Tey gets ready for work. She leaves for the office at 6:40am to get there by 7am. Between 6:40am and 7:40am, I am alone with the little boy before I take him to Mom�s house in Tustin on my way to work. The drive is a little out of the way for me, but it�s easier for me to do the drop-off than it is for Tey. I get to Mom�s around 8am, drop him off and I�m off to work. Tey picks him up around 4:30pm and we do it all over again the next day.

We�ve been doing it for three days now and I�m just drained. The new routine just forces me to change a few things, but the biggest change is the 5:30am alarm. I used to walk Koda around 7:00am and that would give me more than enough time to get ready for work. Now, there are definitely no more late night computer sessions. Or if I do, I will be a zombie the next day. Yesterday, I was so tired, I came home ate dinner and went to sleep at 8:30pm. Hopefully, soon, my body will adjust and things will get easier.
