Working Mom

this week was my first week back to work after an enjoyable maternity leave with my little one. i thought being a mom was tough enough. trying to balance motherhood with work and school is tough too. i wish i could stay home with logan all week. i wish i could spend every moment of every day with him. but that just can't happen right now. luckily, i'm smashing in my hours on monday, tuesday, and wednesday (working at least 10 hours a day) so i get to spend thursday and friday with logan. chris works from home on mondays and tuesdays so he'll be watching logan on those days. amanda and chris were nice enough to say they will watch him on wednesdays (which nate cory just loves). i'm fortunate to not have to drop him off with a stranger but it's still so hard to leave him. i'm glad my first week is over. it should only get easier right? we'll see. . .

btw. . . chris and i stood in line for 2 hours to vote on tuesday. logan waited with us. at least we met some new neighbors. . . what else you gonna do?

Sorry to hear your back to work. Hope everything is going smoothly. As for standing in line for voting, it is all about absentee voting. Just kidding, we did that this year and I didn't like it. I think going and voting the old fashion way is the way to go, it's tradition. OK, well hope all is well. Oh, Noah dented our wall today with his head. This walking thing is tough on him and our house. He has a nasty bump and it's all red. My poor baby, but many more bumps and scraps to come. Love you guys!

Glad you made it through your first week. It sounds like you guys all survived well. So nice to have Chris be home for 2 days and then Chris and Amanda for one. What a stress reliever! Good luck.

ugh... that first week back to work was SO hard. But it does get better. I still have my days at work when I just want to pack myself up and leave. But the bills have to get paid right? You are a rockstar though for throwing in school on top of all that. I was thinking about going back to school next semester... but those nights when I get home and fall asleep at 8 with Alyssa make me rethink that idea!
