The dichotomy of two very (white) things: one practical, one emotional. My freezer milk stockpile, above (go me!), and my bear cub, below.
Tomorrow I return to work. It's been a wrenching weekend (emotionally and literally): I had my first bout of food poisoning in my life starting on Friday evening. Saturday was a feverish haze spent in the bathroom and shivering in bed. Today is a bit better but I'm terrified about navigating my train commute sans bathroom (yikes!).
My hat's off to all working moms: I don't know how you do it, but I'm going to try my darndest.
You're doing great! And so, I imagine, is my fierce, alabaster niece :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, dahling!
How did your first day go? Did you smother her with kisses when you picked her up?
ReplyDeleteLauren,
ReplyDeleteThe first day was fine, actually. I really surprised myself. The second day was harder ...I think it was starting to sink in that this is my new life. (The first day was such a novelty in a way.) I had an awful day at work on Thursday and broke down, but in general, I think I realized I do like to work. Where, and how much, is still the question. I guess I'm just going to take it day by day. I hope you are feeling well!!
Sounds like a plan! I hope it gets easier, or that you can find something that gives you more time at home.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling well. Officially in the third trimester now! We want to have you guys up for dinner soon. Do weekends generally work for you?
Wow; time flies! Congrats on only have a few short months left! Yes, weekends are our only free time it seems! I'm exhausted by 7:30 pm on week nights! We would love to come up; shoot me an email and we'll get something planned. Thanks so much, Lauren!
