Working 9 to 5......or 9 to 1


So I went back to work today for a whopping 4 hours but it was GLORIOUS! I have to work once every 3 months to stay on the payroll at the hospital and since Grant will be 3 months old TOMORROW, that meant I had to work today. It was so nice to put on my scrubs, see all of my awesome co-workers, and go to a job I love. It felt great! I'm holding off on going back regularly until we get Grant's feeding issues somewhat solved and under control but my wonderful, blog-reading, boss has graciously allowed me to come in and work one day a week when I'm ready. I think it will be a great thing for me and for Grant (who will be with his Gigi while I'm working). I am so blessed by these wonderful people I work with! You all made my day today! And thanks, mom, for keeping Grant and making all of this possible. :)

Good for you! Sometimes getting back to work and engaging in another type of rewarding work (even just a few hours) is rejuvenating and makes us better mommies. I think sometimes there's a mistaken belief that it's all or nothing (either total stay-at-home-mom or work-a-holic over-timer who never sees her kids). Aren't we blessed to get a little of the "best of both worlds?" And, oh, I do love the scrub fashion too.

i love working parttime, and love my job. But my days with the boys are awesome. it's great that your mom gets to watch Grant. my boys idealize their grandma because they've been able to spend 2 days a week with her since they were infants!!
