one month...

in one month I am back to work... my less than 9 months of mat leave will be all done

I look to this with mixed feelings.
I have enjoyed these past few months of being a mom
some days more than others :) (yesterday not so much)

fortunately I have been blessed...with my job I work 40 hours in three days...
I know it sounds like a lot but then I get to spend the other 4 days with my son
and actually it is more like 5 since on Fridays I don't go to work until he is already in bed for the night

and so I will be gone all of Saturday and I will be getting home just as he is waking from his afternoon nap on Sunday

childcare...my parents have voluntered to watch him. If they are feeling they need help, I will hire someone for part or all of Saturday

also

I have agreed to respite for the children's aid Mon-Fri with a child under 5 as they need. So that will be ok as there will be someone else for C to play with. We'll see how well I keep on top of things as to if it all works out

right now I am not always good at staying on top of housework...or the paperwork for my two guiding units

but I do snuggle and read stories, colour, build towers with blocks, sing songs, etc.
