Going to work is so hard some days
I took Bradley to school this morning (normally Lance does it, but he had an early meeting).
This morning, Connor made a beeline for the door when it was opened and Beauty took him out to the driveway area to ride on a tricycle (well she was pushing him). Normally he’s inside when we leave and we kiss him goodbye and off we go, without him watching us leave.
Today it was slightly different. Bradley and I both opened our windows to shout goodbye to him as he was playing on the tricycle. He started crying because he wanted to come with us, and he was holding his hands out to us.
Now that breaks my heart anyway… I just hate leaving like that. When it happens I just feel like staying at home!
Then Bradley shouts out the window “I love you Connor. I’m never going to forget you!” OMW that was enough to send me off the edge! It was as if he was saying he’s never going to see him again.
So I told Bradley that he’s going to see him in the afternoon at granny’s house, to which he replies “But Mommy, I miss him so much, and he misses me!”
Awww… somedays I just hate the way that I live
*sigh* it’s tough no matter what you do.
Oh my word did we have the same morning?
We ended up taking Cass to school and as we pulled away Rosey sighs this big, troubled sigh and says (all woebegone) I miss Cass.
I could still see the school in the rearview mirror.
I guess it’s good they love each other so much, right? Right?
It is really sweet that your boys love each other so much.
Being a working mom is SO hard. Turning around and having to walk away when your whole body is telling you not to, is terrible. Not the way it should be. Hugs to you
I hate when they tug on the heartstrings like that. It’s sweet, but painful. Mine once told me she didn’t want to go to daycare because she wanted to “stay and cuddle.”
oh my word….that is heart breaking. You have wonderful children and you are a wondeful mama. Sometimes life is hard, but we just do the best we can.
hugs.
I am sure it must be extremelly difficult.
I find it hard enough leaving my puppies at home during the day, imagine what I would be like if I had kids.
I agree with the first comment. No matter what decision we make as moms, we always feel guilty about something.
Gosh that is tough and SO hard to walk away! I remember when my daughter first went to school…she actually seemed ok with the idea but as soon as I got back to the house I dropped down on my knees and lost it…I should have won an award for most dramatic mother haha. Anyways I love your blog, I think it is very postive and loving! I am new to blogging but I would love to hear from you. I’ll be back to read more soon.
Awwww….it’s awesome that they love each other so much. If you didn’t work, you might not have witnessed this…the silver lining, ya know.
