I will have to keep it short, but the new job is going well. Like anything else that's new, it takes time to get used to it and adjust. But, I think it's going to keep me busy and surely challenge me. I do love that at 3:10, I can walk out the door and have the rest of the night as my own. While this might come out wrong, this week has felt like going from shift one to shift two... picking up the kids, getting dinner, laying out clothes, making lunches, setting the coffee pot... and of course squeezing in a few rounds of "toes", some tickle time, and toddler and baby fun.
I know I will have to use my time more efficiently, but I'd be lying if I said I did not miss those stay-in-your-jammies-till-noon days with the boys at home. But, if you'd have asked me on those days I might have jumped at the chance for a change... I am such a waffler!
I guess that constant feeling of being torn is going to be a part of my life that I will have to manage and focus on quality, not quantity. I know in my heart where my priorities lie, without question.

I've never seen so many duckies in all my life!
i really struggled with going back to work too...i was off for 10 months after my 1st and it was hard to return. i finally realized that working not only let me be an adult (not just a mommy) again but it helped me be a better version of myself. i still get some grief from people at my church...i guess everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but i'm with you: workin' mama with two cute boys at home! (well, three when you count the hubby!) <><
