I'm a Working Woman (just not THAT kind)
3:09 PMToday is one of the days I have been dreading since I began having children: the DREADED first day back to work. In my head the day was filled with tears, worry, and guilt. I always thought I would be selling out if I left my newborn baby to chase a dollar. I would just like to say.... WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING?
I'm pumped to go back to work for many reasons, here's a few:
- FREE STARBUCKS AGAIN!!! For the past 8 weeks I have had to buy my coffee (ok, when I say "buy" I mean anything I wanted beyond my free pound and my 30% off discount -- haha!)
- I have a new boss that I am super excited to work for!
- We have hired tons of great partners since I left, and I can't wait to get to know each one
- I miss my customers and can't wait to share picture of the new little one
- Time away from my kids makes me a better mommy
- Dave appreciates my time at home more when I'm gone a couple nights a week
- Two incomes are better than one -- just sayin'
I suppose going to work will be even better when I only have to drive 5 miles to get there, but I'll savor these LONG 35 minute commutes while they last, because they are few and far between! I know the kids will be in great hands (with Dad) and they really do like their time together without me. They spend their nights eating popsicles and staying up late -- who could dislike that?
So this day has turned out to be NOTHING like I expected, and I think that's a good thing... a really really good thing.
