Practice Back-to-Work Day

today was a "practice" work day if you will. i had to be in downtown LA by 7:45 a.m. if you know LA, you know that the 29 1/2 mile commute is not fun at that hour (there's actually not even a "good" hour to ever make that commute)! so, to get there by that time i had to leave my house by 6:30 a.m. so why was i barely waking Luke up to nurse at 6:32 a.m.? yeah, first practice day didn't go so well. while trying to enjoy the act of nursing, thinking this will soon become our daily reality, i found myself watching the clock chanting, "c'mon lukey, c'mon, drink it up!" at 6:44 a.m. i decide to take him off since he's no longer nursing, just comfort sucking, on the second breast, hand him off to daddy (who's still asleep in bed) and make a mad dash out the front door. it's 6:51 a.m. when i get into my car... and 7:47 a.m. when i arrive at my destination. not too bad.

i get ushered into a conference room with 12 other potential employees and by 8:35 a.m. i'm sitting down with a #2 pencil in hand and two super long (like 518 and 200+ questions) questionnaires. you think t/f and multiple tests are a breeze until you're filling in that little bubble over 700 times! constantly watching the clock because i'm trying to get out of there so i can go feed my son. i left him with two 4 oz bottles, though sure he wouldn't touch them, and yep, sure enough... by the time i get back to my mom's house (where hubbs dropped off Luke at 7:45), it had been over 4 hours since he last ate and the boy was ravenous!

ugh, just another thing to have on my mind when returning to work. and since momma was tired today, no pictures of my gorgeous baby boy today :(
