In an effort to try to stay more connected with my blog, I am going to try to write something every week. Since I am not a full time stay at home Mom, that means my updates will not always be about my kids. So, if you are reading this because you just want kid updates feel free to skim through any commentary that focuses on me. Regardless of what I end up writing it will ultimately somehow tie back to the kids, because after all, I am their Mom.
Today I find myself at a client meeting at 7:30 AM (had to leave the house at 5). The truth is that I should not even be here. I am on my 8th week of a maternity leave stint that (let's be honest) I didn't really get. Who goes to work after only having had a baby 8 weeks ago? Me. Do I like it? No. Am I mad and disappointed? Yes. Am I the main income earner for my family? Yes. Therefore I find myself in NJ at a client meeting.
The person I should feel really bad for is my husband. Although we have our nanny showing up around 8:30, my absence still requires him to feed the baby before the crack of dawn while also trying to get three year old Roo up and ready for school. Whining will take place, lunch will need to be packed, breakfast made, outfits picked out and they will need to be out the door for preschool by 8 AM. All before the nanny arrives. The first 2-3 hours of our day is usually the toughest and now my poor hubby has to do it all on his own. Another reason to be frustrated about being at work today.
So, it is what it is. I will drink as much caffeine as possible so that I can stay awake and sound intelligent because I have to. I will pump prior to my meeting in the public bathroom since am trying to continue to breast feed my kid because that is what I am supposed to do. Then once my meeting is over I will rush home to see my kiddos and give them a great big hug because I want to.
