So I'm bummed cause I'm back at work this week. It....gosh....I don't know how to put this without offending anyone....well, let's just say that I would rather be home/St. Aug/Belfast/ ANYWHERE else with Kate and Ron. Ugh. Never before have the days seemed so long. It's not that work is bad- it's actually nice to see everyone and get busy with the new school year. It's just that after waking at 5:30am, saying bye to Kate at 6:15am, and getting home around 5pm to cook dinner, feed and bathe the baby, put her to bed....and then what? I haven't even spent any quality time with her and the day is past. It actually reduced me to tears yesterday, as I was only on my way home at almost 6pm without seeing my daughter yet. To put it bluntly- I hate it. But I suppose I just have to get used to it- I had a nice, long, wonderful summer with her, and I'm extremely grateful for that. I suppose when I'm feeling low, I'll just look at my Kate shrine that I've made in my office (shrine also includes Ron and Marge...oh, and a few pics of Eva and Charlie....oh, and the sunset at my parents' house, but not you frow...not you number 2.....not you henchman) .

Anyhoo, as soon as I have more pictures to post, I will.
