Out of the blue

mamajoanYeah, so, sorry I haven't posted about the new job. Busy/tired/etc. The short version is, it's going well. Today I actually did some actual work! ;) There's a LOT to learn. The software product we're working with is so complex it makes my head hurt just thinking about it. But that's good! It means job security! ;)
Last night I went to chorus rehearsal for the first time this fall. (The actual first rehearsal was last week but I skipped it since it was also my first day of work.) Our favorite teacher from Ruthie's former daycare was able to babysit, which was great. The kids were happy to have her and there was no crying or fussing when I left. She said they were fine except for a small amount of fussing from Ruthie at bedtime, which is what usually happens, because that's when she realizes that I'm not there to lie down with her.
So Ruthie came into my bed in the middle of the night like usual, and when it got a little light outside she started nursing, and we snuggled and nursed for a while, all nice and cozy. Then at some point the alarm went off and I turned it off and we lay there snuggling, and then Ruthie turned to look at me and said, "I love you." Insert melting mama here. ♥ So I said "I love you too."
And then: "Who will be my mom after you die?"
*facepalm*
So I said: "I'll always be your mom, and anyway I'm not going to die for ages."
Ruthie: "But when you die, you won't be alive."
Me: "No, but you're not going to get another mom. But someone will take care of you."
Ruthie: "Yeah, we'll call 911 and grandma will come and get us."
Okay! Okay! I'm awake! Sheesh. ;)
