First Day

Today was my first day as an ESM for DFCS. Wow is how I feel. It was overwhelming and humbling and frightening. Just as you would expect any first day to feel. I was ready to cry simply to relieve some pressure from my heart. Throughout the evening I told my husband bits and pieces of my day, sharing a small fear with each anecdote. If I had shared it all in one sitting I would have ended up a blubbering mess. At the end of sharing a part of my day my husband stopped wiping off the table, looked at me with gentle eyes and said, "Yeah, but you're gonna be great. I know you can do this."

We've been married six years and he still makes me weak in the knees. A lot of people have said that to me recently, but there's something about hearing it from the mouth of my rock star husband that gives me faith.

I had a great time playing with my kids tonight. It was weird not going on FB. I'm wondering how my friends are doing. But it was also a relief to not feel tethered.

Larry sent me this picture today while I was at work. He put tights tights on Katie today. When I asked what he thought he said it was really weird, like putting on giant socks ;)

Ok never mind about the picture :( Our computer is in the shop and I can't get the picture to load from the phone. She was super cute though. I'll post it next week.

For now, I'm going to eat my chocolate cake w cheesecake center (Thank you Publix Bakery Angels) and watch a movie with the husband.

Life is good.
