Wednesday

With Travis, I remember being ready to go back to work.  I took 8 weeks off which was a little ridiculous because Matt was home too.  This time I planned to take 6 weeks off.  I'm heading back to work on Wednesday after only 5 weeks (I'm saving that last week for when Russell has his surgery).

I'm not ready to go back.  It will probably be good for me to get out of the house and focus on something else but I'm dreading it.  I have to call my manager and department director tomorrow to let them know that I will have a lot of doctor's appointments for Russell and I will probably be coming in early to make up the time. Then at next week's meeting, I will be telling the rest of the team.

So, for those of you who like the specific prayer requests:  Until tomorrow, my request is that Russell has gained a lot of weight so surgery won't be so scary (his doctor's appointment is at 11:20 a.m.).  After that, it is that going back to work won't be so dreadful and I'll have a good first day.
