I actually tried on, laundered, ironed, de-cat-furred, etc. all three outfits for next week today!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756048531778718906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483197726837265443.post-12568179582933438812009-10-20T10:17:20.842-04:002009-10-20T10:17:20.842-04:00Liz, Enjoy your last week home with your little gu...Liz, Enjoy your last week home with your little guy! The transition back to work is so hard, so be ready for (yet another!) emotional train wreck! Get a good system in place for yourself, getting all your bags packed the night before, keys by the door, cell phone charged, etc. You will never be well rested again, but you will be rested enough to get through it, somehow it's enough. <br />One thing I love about Charlotte's daycare is that they always give me a rundown of how she did that day - stories, songs, dancing, outside time. But - they don't spoil the milestones for me, so every time she does something "new" for us, it's the "first time". Like two Friday's ago, we were out and she started clapping and laughing, and I was so excited. Monday when I dropped her off and told them that she can clap hands, they just smile and laugh - she's probably been doing it there for a week before I got to see it, but that's OK!<br />You'll do great! And you'll be getting a paycheck. And you'll get a little piece of your old life back, even if it's just 8 hours a day. That's 8 whole hours without poop on your hands! Yay!<br />It's OK to hate it and melt down and freak out, too. HUGS!MEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215319519652971695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4483197726837265443.post-76653683135897678372009-10-19T18:12:27.700-04:002009-10-19T18:12:27.700-04:00Your post brought back memories of when my materni...Your post brought back memories of when my maternity leave was winding down. My husband would say "he's not going anywhere" but I couldn't help feeling sad. I also work pt (3 days a week) and I find it to be a nice balance. Much luck in your adjustment back to work!C and Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332924419765398867noreply@blogger.com
