Things I hate on the morning of my first day back at work:
1. The fact that I'm still a lard-butt and can't get into my work clothes
2. People who are not lard-butts 6 weeks post-partum and look great in their work clothes
3. People who told me I would lose weight faster because I'm nursing
4. Me for believing them
5. Being awake from 2:30-5:00 because my son decided to stay awake just to screw with me on my first morning back
Things that make the first morning back to work more bearable:
1. Being blessed with said son, even if he does like to screw with me
2. Listening to my daughter wake up singing "Smelly Cat" over the baby monitor
3. Having a job that I actually enjoy and that pays money
4. Caribou Coffee sugar free caramel lattes
5. A car ride where I can listen to "My" music without protest from the toddler crowd
6. Knowing my children are going to be well cared for each day by one of their wonderful grandmothers
