Things to do the First Day Mitchell Returns to Daycare (after being home for 3 months)

1.  Cry
2.  Try to stop crying and drive home.
3.  Unload and re-load the dishwasher.
4.  Clean up the kitchen.
5.  Wonder what Mitchell is doing right now.
6.  Plan ahead for dinner.
7.  Cry again.
8.  Do 3 loads of laundry.
9.  Vacuum the entire house.
10.  Pick apples from the apple tree (until encountering a giant garden spider lurking near-by)
11.  Shower leisurely and actually put on some mascara.
12.  Call and check to see how Mitchell's first day is going.
13.  Get dressed and ready to run some errands.

All of this was done before noon...whereas usually it would have taken me hours to do it with Mitchell at home.  On the agenda for this afternoon...lunch with my mom-in-law and some shopping!  The day hasn't seemed this long since before Mitchell was born!
4:30 can't come soon enough!!
