Test Run

Yesterday I met with my boss to discuss things at work. She will be gone on mat leave when I get back to work (in less than 3 months, sniff sniff).

If yesterday was to be considered a test run of what things will like when I return, it was not fun. Although I did not have to have the kids to Grandma & Papa's until 11am, getting out the door seemed to be more difficult than it should. Then my meeting ran much later than I planned & to top it off it was raining. Trying to get home from Scarborough in rush hour traffic on a rainy day resulted in a 2 hour drive.

We do not have a car seat for Jason in Brad's car, so he could not go pick them up. Therefore, I arrived at 6:40pm to pick them up. Sydney of course didn't want to leave & was not impressed to be rushed by me. Jason essentially came home, into his pj's, drank his bottle & straight to bed. No real Mommy-time for him.

I know that this is not a typical day at work for me, but there will be some days that I will not get home until this time if I am coming from Scarborough. Thankfully at that point Jason can face forward & we will have 2 car seats in each car so that Brad can do pick-up too. But that means that I will only see the kids for 30 minutes to an hour before they go to bed. Sniff sniff.
