Today was my daughter's first day of first grade. I woke up at 6: 15 & my daughter at 7:00. I wish that I could say that the morning ran smoothly. I also wish that the 20 lbs. of baby weight that I'm hanging on to would be gone by the time that I wake up tomorrow. But, the first wish didn't come true & unless the lipo gods perform an overnight miracle, I doubt the second will come true either.
Anyway, despite the best intentions, we couldn't get my daughter to eat breakfast and then I couldn't find her hair brush & then .... before we knew it, we were rushing to get out the door. The rushing then led to my husband & I snapping at each other. All of which made for a fun morning.
- We both had intended to both walk our daughter into her classroom - Only I got to walk her as my husband had to park the car. I think that he's still upset that he missed her big girl moment.
- We had intended to take pictures - We forgot our camera and I forgot my phone. Fortunately, a more together mom had offered to take my daughter's picture. Now, I have to remember to e-mail her so I can get a copy.
- I had intended not to cry - I cried.
Don't be too hard on yourself. There were many of us moms who had a not so smooth morning. Mine including the throwing of shoes across the room - unfortunately by me not my 2nd grader. Thankfully my children are learning to extend grace as I learn to seek forgiveness.

I could have almost written your post particularly about working while watching, in my case, Backyardigans & Wonder Pets and my oldest son's first day of Kindergarten yesterday--except for the nursing thing--which will come in a few months when I have my 4th child. Let's just say the first day of school and pregnancy (or for you--postpartum) hormones don't mix well. I didn't think I'd cry, but I did and was teary all day! Hang in there!
