Back to work

One week down, the rest of my life left. Bahhhh.

I'm officially back to work, as in back to office 8 - 4:30 work. Cupcake is in daycare and, maybe loving it? Who knows. She's 1. She cries when we drop her off, when we go to get her, she is playing/ destroying place. Our little Destructori.

While I enjoy being back to work, I am exhausted. I did not think I would be this tired. No one told me I'd be utterly exhausted. I'm so tired it actually hurts to keep my eyes open. I find it very difficult to focus today.

Over the weekend I realized that since getting pregnant and having Victoria, I haven't relaxed. Every day has been jam packed. No wonder Cupcake came early. I would really enjoy a day to sit in the sun, beach or no beach, with a drink and just relax and at this point, SLEEP.

Oh how I would love to sleep today.

But alas, once work is done, I go home and work some more, taking care of the baby, cooking dinner, cleaning up the house, laundry, then bed.

The truth of it all

For the past 8 months, I have been talking with other new moms and realized that we all have the same feelings, mixed feelings about returning to work. The pros and cons of returning re perfectly balanced - but in the end the dolla dolla bills win out. Seriously, how can you eat and live with out dolla dolla bills? So many moms return to work. Booo!

But this evening while perusing Mon Petit Amour, she posted a link to this blog article which rings so true to me. The post states the thoughts of a working mom and the thoughts of a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom). I really agree with this post and had to share with my husband and now you. I hope you enjoyed it just as much as I did. I think I am bookmarking it, so on the bad days at work and at home, I can remember how it all feels.
