Back to the Office for Me

After a week at home with the fam, I returned to my daily working life today. All I can say is “YIKES!”

It was a crazy Monday with back-to-back meetings, a tsunami of emails, papers and packages piled up on my desk, and team members trying to catch me up. I didn’t even get my lunch hour to enjoy a bite or a quick workout. I had a meeting. Another one.

I missed Cassie a lot today, more than usual. I got so used to being with her during the days last week. She’s such a fun, happy little companion. I enjoyed watching all of her nuances, from the moment she woke up till her end-of-the-day wind-down (or meltdown, as the case may be).

Now it’s time to go home and get my two hours in (if I’m lucky) before she hits the sack. Back to the world of working momhood!

  1. First day back from vacation is always hard. I tend to resent “having to work” after some time off. Usually takes about 3 days before I can get back in the swing of things and remember that quality vs. quantity time with the kids is what it’s about for me.

    I feel your pain. I really do. Makes me wonder every day whether I’m really cut out for the working mom world, even though not working is not an option for our family. *sigh*
