My warehouse manager is in LA for a couple days taking care of some stuff. So in his stead, i am resuming control of the warehouse. It wasnt easy.
Usually i wake up and take care of Eleanor some, and because of how bad things went yesterday, i really missed Eleanor all day. Also my wife.
So, when i got home today, luckily, my class was cancelled. Some emergency on 15th st.
So all day at home with the baby after work.
First let me recap work
1. Delivery to point breeze ave
2. reload for delivery to 60th & woodland.
3. While driving to woodland, truck runs out of gas. We drive on fumes and literally coast into the Sunoco. What a relief eh?
4. Finish delivery and come back to warehouse. Very tiring in deed.
So as I was at home, as eleanor was sleeping, she woke up. We went down to bring her up to the home theater. After i fed her some, i held on my chest, and slowly rocked her to sleep. usually, she is quite alert and not wanting to sleep. But on this night, she put her head down on my shoulder and fell asleep.
After a day like today, it's a small thing but so rewarding. To rock your baby to sleep. You hear her heartbeat. her small little nostril constricted breath... haha
It makes the whole day worth it.
It makes taking night classes worth it
It makes going to Bj's wholesale club to by three thousand dollars worth of toilet tissue worth it.
Because on day this little person will be greeting me at the door. Asking me how my day was. She will run from whatever she is doing to greet me at the door.
for now i will take the spittle, and saliva bubbles and incoherent squeals and whining.
Yeah, it's worth it.
