Just a short post today before I plop over from exhaustion…

Tired, tired, tired, tired….. my first workday today was pretty good, but it was quite exhausting. Besides struggling to remember everybody’s names (which is always the first matter of importance at any job), I actually did some work today as I spent part of the day trying to familiarize myself with the product I’ll be working on (click here for details). My teammates seem like nice people (although it’s really too early to tell), but there’s a couple of new hires also on my team that seem like good candidates for lunch buddies. Anyway, all in all, a good first day.

Likewise, Zoe seemed to have a good first day at her new daycare. I was initially concerned that she might need to have an adjustment period since I’ve been taking care of her for the past two months. Well, those concerns disappeared as soon as she entered the playroom. She took to it like a fish adjusting to water. Zoe seems to thrive on group care, unlike other kids that are still shy at that age. Her caregivers were actually saying that Zoe acted right at home. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still rather have her taken care of in the comfort of our home, but since that’s way too expensive here in the States, daycare is a relatively more affordable solution.

Lastly, just a reaction to Aileen’s post below – that is such an accurate retelling of the day our lives changed forever, except for one minor thing – I only missed the entrance three times. ‘Nuff said.
