I survived my first week back at work….. just! Well, it wasnt really that bad, it just took so much out of me, today I had to do the 9-1 shift, then go to mums for a party at 2 and show River around to everyone. I got there, and within about 10 minutes I was lying on the lounge trying to get some sleep, finding that the chatter of 10 or so people was easier to sleep through than River’s cries. I seemed to be ok after a little rest, but still tired. We managed to make it through the party ok and left at nearly 7, then went to do our shopping for the week, and didnt get home till somewhere around 9-10pm. Then I tried to clean the kitchen and cook dinner, and we ended up eating at about 11.45pm! Its now 12.10 and I am well and truly ready to sleep! Problem is that River was so good today (as she always is for other people) that she slept most of the time, and was very peaceful and relaxed. Now she doesnt seem the slightest bit tired! In fact, I can hear her warming up for a cry now. Oh well, tomorrow is the holy grail for me, my 1 day off this week to hopefully sleep in as long as Kati can hold the fort, then I will be up for the day and she can rest when she needs. On that note, River is crying and we are going to try and settle her and go to sleep.

Hope everyone else is well
