Back at work this week I decided that I am adjusting well to switching gears from work life to home life. I much prefer to be a stay-at-home mom but I am feeling better about my contribution to the family through work. My first day back is always the hardest. I usually am working only about 5 to 6 days a month. I know that doesn't seem like much but these are full days away from my family and it is hard on me. I always said that I would want to see my kids everyday of their lives while they are still small, but with my job that isn't possible right now.
I missed out on an entire day of my little ones life. I was gone for three days in a row. An entire day went by with my baby living his life without his mommy. I know this is a wonderful thing. Something I know will help him become more independent and less attached to me but it still takes my breath away a bit.
It is a sacrifice that I am making for my family. I know that each month it will get easier but that I will always want to be home. First I am a mother!
