Well, I survived my first week back to work (barely).
The Good:
- Lexi loves spending time with her Oma. She hasn't cried when I hand her off and doesn't appear to miss me too much while I'm at work (she does carry around a T-shirt I have worn to put in her crib, and apparently likes to sniff it though).
- Doug will get to do some Daddy days with her, and had her my first day back to work. I'm sure some wonderful bonding time will happen over iPods, and a shared loved of beef and remote controls
- it's been nice to turn that part of your brain on again, and I've been reminded that I do love teaching
- yay, a real paycheque again!
The Bad:
- I feel like I there are never enough hours in the day anymore (for things like laundry, making babyfood, showering, and brushing ones teeth)
- My house in a MESS
- I'm not there to see every little thing Lexi does
The Ugly:
- I REALLY miss Lexi during the day. A lot.
- my commute, especially coming home. I hate sitting in my car wasting time on the Lougheed Highway when I'd rather be playing or reading with my family.
I'm sure things will get better as the days go by and time ticks down to summer. As for right now, I'm going to enjoy a cup of coffee and some bacon, and relish every moment of being able to put my baby down for her nap today!
