The clock is ticking and my return to work is quickly approaching. I hate it. Last Friday I went and checked out a daycare that was highly recommended to me. It was fine and the woman in-charge of the infant room was very nice, but I just couldn't imagine leaving my son there 5 days a week. I cried driving home from the tour. I've been in talks with my manager to work from home a 2.5 days a week. He was very receptive when I gave him my proposal... today I got an email from him saying that he showed my proposal to his boss and now they have a "very different" option for me. My heart dropped when I read that. It's going to be some shit like "you can work 4-10s" I just know it. If they offer me some lame option, I seriously don't know if I'll go back. I do have one more trick up my sleeve... I called my friend who works at our North American HQ. He's given me some info on a freelance design gig. I may have to explore that option more soon. First, I'm going to call my boss tomorrow and hopefully get the whole scoop.
Since I've been gone a while I feel like it might me a good idea for me to re-examine my goals:
1. Track and go to WW weigh-ins.
2. Loose weight... for myself and for my family. I don't want to pass on any of my food issues.
3. Have faith
4. Get Active, even if it's just a brisk walk around the block.
goals for tomorrow:
1. Track
2. Drink more water
3. Appreciate every moment with my son
4. Stay focused
Thanks:
1. My cousin Iris
2. The love that my son receives from my friends and family
3. Spring is March 22!
4. My husband supporting me, even though the thought of me not working really freaks him out
5. That my Mom is coming in June!!!!
First, I'm happy you're back :) Second, uggggg, sorry Dee! I didn't know about that email you got :( He has not said a word to me about any of it. Try not to stress, everything will wall in line and be the best choice for your family. Love you! xoxo!!

ReplyDeleteI work temporarily at a Montessori school in CO, and I know its hard for Moms to leave their kids. The best thing is if you feel comfortable with the people that will be watching your children. If you're in the Denver area, our company has a few options in the area, I know our Nido teachers are great. :)I hope an option works out for you!
ReplyDeleteJust think, if it's an option you can't live with, it makes your decision easier. Everything is going to work out Great!!!
