Things have not slowed down much at work (although I think the end is in sight). I had an Audit Committee meeting today at 3:30 that lasted until after 5pm, so poor Mr. Mitchell had to stay at daycare ALL day. Jacob is in Omaha again this week. By the time I got to daycare to pick him up, it was 5:40 and eventhough they don't close until 6pm, he was literally the LAST kid at daycare. His teacher was the only teacher left there and she was pulling him around the playground in a little red wagon. He didn't seem nearly as upset as I was. :( I felt like the worst mom in the world. I am going to try to take off early tomorrow to make up for it. :)
It's funny how different things are now with Mitchell in my life. I remember going home after this very same meeting last year and feeling like a cheater because I'd gotten off EARLY! We used to eat dinner at 8:30 or 9pm. Last night Mitchell and I ate dinner togther (salmon and blueberries) at 5:30pm.
Mitchell is back on his 7pm bedtime ritual, so I've begun my ritual of working while watching the Olympics. I missed gymnastics last night though, dang!

Olympics on Eastern time are a mess (well, make me a mess). I stayed up past midnight on Tuesday watching the women's team gymnastics, which wasn't good for my Wednesday. Last night I just stuck to Project Runway and didn't let the Olympics lure me in!
You and Jacob are great parents--and Mitchell is such a happy little boy!
It's amazing that a child can change our lives to very much--like being grateful for an early dinner and bedtime or a shorter day at work.
You are a wonderful mother--I wouldn't want anyone else raising my grandchild!
Mitchell doesn't look like it upset him much....look at that BEAUTIFUL smile :) You just can't help but smile back!!!!

you shouldn't worry about being the last parent their...I remember parents getting there late everyday! You should NOT sweat being there 20 minutes before closing!! It is also not too bad because if you are the last child to be picked up you get individual attention from the teacher, which is always better. You are an awesome mom, Mitchell is so lucky!--Katy
woops...there!-- Katy
