I made it through today :)

I went back to work today after a m/c over the weekend. The ONE goal I had was not to cry in front of my students. And even though I got misty eyed a few times, I made it!!

I count this as a success, even though I'm crying now as I type.

Big hugs to all of you ladies who are going back to work this week.

Qweny, I know how hard it was for you.  With time it will get easier.  I took many bathroom breaks, and still do.  But I'm not a teacher.  Good luck.  I hope you have more ok days than bad ones soon. Take care.

I am going back on Thursday. I don't want to cry either.

Congrats -- that is a huge accomplishment (just going back to work).  I took many quick 5 minute walks my first two weeks back to work.  You are very strong!!

Going back to work is so tough. It is just exhausting to be "on" and pretend like everything is ok. Glad you made it through ok--it does get easier.

My first day was yesterday and I did survive. I was exhausted when I got home and crashed hard.

Today was easier, although no one knew why I was out last week. I had mcdonald's for a late lunch and someone made the comment about eating for 2. I had to break the news and surprisingly was okay.

My mom and dad had me over for dinner since DH was working late. I made it through without crying, but I know they cooked all this food for 3 in their way to comfort me without getting upset too. We didn't really talk, just hung out. But, I did get misty eyed on my drive home b/c I know they are sad as well.
