Well today was not a good one. Work was so busy and stressful. It is one of those weeks that I have to reorganize every morning otherwise I will get so behind and something will be forgotten. Keeping myself, 1 V.P. , 5 managers, and approx 350 employees and their demands straight can be draining. I get so frustrated with everyone thinking their situation is so urgent, but that is my job I guess. I just smile and say, “I’ll get it done!” To top it all off, Ben is not doing well. I don’t know if he is teething or bored with life or what, but he has had yucky diapers and has been fussy. Today was different though. It was the first time that I “got the call” from Jen telling me he wasn’t having a good day. I must admit, it was very hard to hear. From the first day I went back to work after having Ben, I have had hard days leaving him behind, but I have felt good knowing that he is in a loving home. Today hearing my little boy wasn’t feeling well, crying the majority of the day, probably just wanting mamma…well it was my first “working mom breakdown”. I hate that I cannot be with him. I am probably one of those odd mother’s who even with the stress, I enjoy working (I wish it was part-time though). I do hate that he has to have these days, feeling yucky, just wanting mommy time. Ugh, it stinks. I got him home, he showed no signs of being sick. Sometimes mommy and daddy are the best medicine.

So I admit once again I am no good at keeping my little bloggette updated. It’s been a quick summer. We have had loads of fun, from vacation to the beaches of Florida, First birthdays, Peach pickin, zoo trips, we have packed it in. I really do live for being busy. Last weekend we had no plans, it made me kind of nervous. Probably a sign of something I need to fix about myself. I don’t relax well, I never have. I look forward to things to do, it makes my week go by more quickly.

Ben is getting to be your classic toddler, he’s so cute. He just walks around, and is so interested in everything. It can be so draining, I feel like all I do is tell him no, or some form of the word no. It is already September, my little baby boy is walking and starting to talk. I just cannot believe how quickly this whole thing goes. I don’t have “baby fever” as of yet, but I do miss just cuddling my little Ben. So for now, I will keep my family busy and try to enjoy every minute of my little man.
