Working Mom Woes
I went back to work and to say the least it's been tough. My team is very family-friendly and I honestly couldn't ask for a better boss when it comes to supporting work/life balance, but the bottom line is that people here work all day, everyday. I used to be fine with being on email at night and on the weekends, but now that time belongs to Lily. Of course January is mid-year and therefore busier, but still I can see how the balancing act will be a much bigger challenge than I had anticipated. It also doesn't help that Lily has become increasingly vocal and smiley - how would you feel leaving this darling little Pie at KinderCare every day?? My first step to achieving balance...I am breaking down and getting a housekeeper. I never thought I would, but a chore-free weekend will do wonders towards making our weekend family time better. Any recommendations??
