I really don't like when you are in a conversation with someone, a women, and you ask 'oh so what do you?' and her reply is, "Oh I'm JUST a Mum" This infuriates me. Just a Mum... Mums are like superheros. The moment your child is brought into the world, everything changes and in among those changes is the ability to be so much more then 'just a Mum'. Just a Mum, you are glue. You are everything to your child! Say it loud and say it proud... I AM A MUM!
Someone had posted this on Facebook, I thought I would share it with you all! I was crying by #2, so make sure you have some Kleenex by you.
Enjoy! I have survived the first week back to work, and I have only cried 3 times. Scarlett has not cried once, YAY!!! I think this little munchkin is stronger then I am! I'm so very proud of her, and myself. I'm very impressed with Auntie Katie, she is doing an amazing job! We are all going to get the hang of this in no time. The morning I went back to work, there was a beautiful sun rise, soI took it as a good sign and that everything would be OK. And it was. The today started with only a few tear (by yours truly) but everything went smooth. I missed my daughter with out a doubt but it was a good day! I was sitting at my desk today, writing an email and I stopped and thought, 'WOW, I have slipped right back into this with amazing ease.' I think that was the thing that was missing for my self esteem, was my job. I have the best situation possible for our lives right now. I am very fortunate for the support system i have at work, my husband gets an A+, my daughter is in excellent hands while Mummy and Daddy are working. I am very grateful for the opportunities that have been presented to us! Well the day has arrived. I must leave my sweet little love of mine and rejoin the work force.
I am terrified. I am excited. I am completely lost as to how I am 'suppose' to feel. I am actually feeling really nervous, I have that knot in my stomach feeling, you know the feeling, you're not sure if you are doing something right, you're worrying over the little thing and well things you can't control. I want to scream and cry, I force myself to think about something else. I do think about something else, until this shifty brain of mine loops back to, 'HEY YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK TOMORROW'. I've cried twice today. I really don't know how I am going to walk out that door tomorrow. I am having bitter sweet emotions that Drew gets to drop her off in the morning but I get to pick her up at the end of the day. I can't wait to see her smile. She has a beautiful smile. You stay at home Mums, I hope you know how lucky you have it. But like I said, bitter sweet. I love my job but I love love my little girl. I hope tonight last a little big longer. |
