Working Mom

Today I went back to work part-time. Sad. Day. This day came out of nowhere and I wasn't really prepared. I lined up a baby sitter just last Thursday thinking maybe somehow something would happen and I wouldn't have to go back to work. But the lottery failed me, so back to work I went.

Dropping Carter off at the baby sitter's house was rough. I left as soon as I could because it was breaking my heart. I held the tears in check walking back to the car, not wanting to walk into work with mascara running down my face. I turned the radio up to blaring and tried to drown out any thoughts of leaving Carter, and it kinda worked.

I jumped back into work with both feet and it felt like I never left. I kept so busy that I only had a little time to think about Carter. Turns out he did pretty well at the baby sitters and then we came home and took a long nap, so I guess he forgave me!

Now if he could only sleep through the night...

I'm so sorry Janessa! I was hoping you'd be able to quit PK & stay home with that sweet baby. Thank goodness it's only part time. :) I'm in the same boat & am not looking forward to going back to work either.

Janessa, I'm sorry you had to go back to work and that it was so hard for you! I'm planning on going back part-time after I have my baby too! On a positive note, Carter is so adorable and looks just like his momma!
