So the title explains it all really. I am back to work on Monday. The need to refine my time keeping skills is here as I know that I have to get O and myself ready and out of the house on time so that I am not late to the office. I have been preparing myself for the fact that I am no longer going to get to spend as much time with O as I'd like and that I am likely to miss some of her 'firsts'. I am swapping my pj's and jeans for office wear and my telly for Microsoft Outlook.
I have absolutely LOVED maternity leave. Every single minute of it and so I have been dragging out this last week as much as I possibly can. J has been on annual leave and we've had a staycation filled with family time, sunshiney walks, Breaking Bad and cake. We've also taken care of a few householdy jobs that have been waiting to be finished and have overlooked others for another time.
It feels strange to be rejoining the rat race, particularly in the knowledge of the beautiful tiny person I will be leaving behind to do so but I am hoping it will be a positive experience for us both. I suspect that there will be some tears and tantrums in the first few weeks (from me, not O) but I am told it gets easier.
For now though, I am going to just enjoy the sunshine and the weekend.
