Never again will I take for granted those perfect starts to a working day.   The ones where everyone wakes up happy after a solid sleep and eats all their breakfast first go.  The ones where everyone leaves the house neatly dressed and laughing all the way to the car.  The ones where day care drop off goes smoothly.

Thankfully, it wasn’t anything major at daycare.  A minor infection every family seems to pick up in the first few months that they enter care with so many other little ones at close contact with each other.  We’re home safe and resting with ample supplies of whatever it takes to keep fluid and energy intakes in a positive balance.  I’m only on the end of a phone for work and my years of experience on the ground have made me a professional at the work related phone discussion.

Working motherhood.  It’ll all work out in the end, even if you’re sometimes doubtful that it will.
