Going back

today is my first day back from leave.

I am going to work part time for the next 3 weeks with the help of my parents

so the little one and I will start slower in the AM
then go to the grandparents

while I go to work.

and you guys
it's tough

this little guy is still so little
sooooo little

just eight pounds

I really don't want to do it.

I hate it

I would rather be here.

and my house is in shambles
sigh

but

it is
what it is

and today
or tomorrow
or weeks from now

this would feel the same

so

back into the fray

in just a few more minutes.

    It is tough, i was a tearful wreck the first day i went back to work and i had people telling me i was doing the right thing which to be honest didnt help, it wasnt a case of it being the right thing, i didnt have a choice i needed and had to get back to work.

    I found the first week the hardest and at least you can be comforted that he is with his grandparents and getting loves and spoils.

    thank you -- now we're napping on the sofa together
    cuddles

    cuddles are the best

    today was hard -- but you're right
    he was safe
    and I am lucky to have so much support

    I remember the first week I went back to work.
    It was hard, so hard, I missed him so much.

    Honestly? He's a boy... I've had three, the house is going to be a wreck until you train him to keep his mess in his own room.Then his room will be a wreck until he goes off to college. Closed doors are a wondrous aid to a mothers sanity.

    Take care of him, take care of yourself, don't try to do too much, the house will wait.

    I cried leading up to going back to work. But then once I was there I was ok, he was ok. But to be honest he was 8 months, not 8 pounds. But it does sound like you have great support.

    Laughing at monkey's comment. I feel like I should post a photo of my teen's room. OMFG.

    Big hug!
