Going back to work

Tomorrow i return to work. I've been off since September and over these past 7 months all i've thought about was going back to work. To me work was like a vacation. it was the first time in 5 years i had any "me" time, and i loved it! however now that the day is almost here I have very mixed feelings about it. I do love my job and I want to go back, i just hate that it is so soon after the loss of Rob's dad and our move, as all these changes have been super hard on Olivia. She doesn't leave my side. She even sits on her little stool in the bathroom while I take a shower. If I sit down, she sits on me. If i leave the room, she follows. It's been driving me a bit crazy but I know that it is only temporary. I'm not sure how me going to work is going to affect her. It helps that my best fried (Livy's Auntie) will be keeping her until Nadia get's done school in June, but it will still be hard. I'll keep you posted on how we all adjust.

Thanks for your kind words on my last post Roni and jude! I really apprciate your thoughtfulness.

Best of luck with work tomorrow Tracy. I can only imagine how hard it would be to leave them esp with all the recent changes. Awh bless Olivia, her sitting on the stool while you take a shower, doesn't it just pull on your heart strings? You are her rock, her safe place to go too, you make her world better. Give her extra hugs and kisses. :) I hope she does ok without mummy tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you all.

I am sorry to hear of your father in law's death. It just seems so sudden.

Not long ago I watched my mother lose her father (my grampy). It is a painful thing. I can imagine the hurt Rob is prosessing through - and the hurt you are carrying too - and with so much transition. . . Peace to you and your family.

Best of luck at work too and working through the trials and tribulations of back to work. I know you will do so well with it all!!!
