It seems the older I get time goes by faster and faster. I don't know where the week goes! For those who don't know I started two jobs in January...which seems to have increased the speed of time! I started working at our local bank two days/week and started working as a consultant dietitian part time. I visit about 9 assisted living facilities in the surrounding area quarterly, slowly I am getting more and more places, its a great job as I can fit it to my schedule. Both jobs are great and have allowed me to get out of my "mommy world" and enjoy some adult time! For me working and being a mom are a great balance, I love being home w/ the kids but do enjoy working as well, of course I wouldn't want to work full time and miss the kids too much. I've learned some things as I went back to work:
1. If I don't write it down it likely won't get done or I'll forget about it...so my "to-do" list is now my friend, I even write in going to the gym
2. The kids grow up too fast so take time to enjoy them and get on the floor to play w/ them- the messy house can wait!
3. Enjoy the time you have w/ your hubby when you can--some days I only see Jas about 10minutes due to his schedule (not counting while we're sleeping!)
4. Its hard leaving a sick baby, but I'm blessed to have a sitter who I know will take wonderful care of them kids when I have to leave for work
5. When you get some "away" time you come back a happier mom
I'm lucky to have had two jobs basically plop down in my lap and both allow me to still have plenty of time to do my most important job- be a mom!
