Mom sounds totally stressed about the transition back to work. Just because the kids were coming to care part time during mat leave mom wasn't going to work so this is a total shock to her system this week. Since you know what the mom has always been like until this past week I would probably try just as you are to let her get over it and come back to reality. What she did was wrong, how she over reacted was wrong and explaining it away is wrong but what she does in the next couple weeks is what will help you decide if you are willing to keep going or not.
One thing to watch for is signs that the mom is on the brink of packing it in and staying home instead of going back to work. My shortest time for a child in care was a little over 2 hours! Same thing mom had been bringing the child to transition including some full days and all seemed well. First day to bring child and go back to work mom tried so hard to be brave at the door but I could see the tears. She cried all the way to work - walked straight into the boss's office and said sorry I can't do this and came home for her child and never went back to work.
