Working Mom

WOW, I guess I didn't realize how much I was going to dislike coming back to work! Hayden was 5 months old when I finally ventured back to work. And he was at home with my sister, so I had the most time possible with him. I don't know why I feel like I'm missing more this time around. Drake will be 3 months old on the 11th, and I feel like I'm missing so much. He seems to change before my eyes. I have 2 and a half hours after work, before I go to bed to take care of everything that needs to be handled, as in feedings, dinner, bathing, cuddling, playing and then finally getting everyone off to night night land. I'm afraid Hayden is being jipped cause I'm spread so thin. I know he acts out in regards to this. So I try as best I can to just slow down and be with him. And at the same time, relieve my mother in law, because I know she's had a very long day with both kids.
Working mothers around the country feel my pain with this, I know. I wish we were in the days still that it was affordable and comfortable to live with one income. I miss my family. I miss seeing my husband, as we have opposite shifts. Mondays are the worst...after having a few days of all family, having to switch back to the work mode.
I swear...I need to hit Megabucks. LOL. Maybe I should gamble first...lol.
