Unhappy Back to work on tuesday :(

Well.....i am back to work on tuesday and i am dreading it! i hve been off with evan since the end of January and enjoyed every bit of it. the worst part of the whole thing is that i really do not enjoy my job and i have held offf from gettign another one due to the whole adoption process and not wanting to have to change homestudy etc.........i am going back 32 hours a week, i carry the benefits for the us so it is hard to find somethign part time. so it will be hard. my mother in law is taking care of evan, which is another story in itself........LOL!!!
thank you for letting my vent.....i know i will be in tears tomorrow night!

I'm sorry....and the mother in law part. Ugh. I hope you're able to find something you enjoy soon, it makes all the difference. I love my job so going back 3/4 time worked okay, though I wasn't crazy about it. And the benefits thing-- I recently switched to contract work and now carry private health insurance. It's affordable and good coverage, PM me if you ever need some info on it.

I am sorry that...

you are sad about going to back to work tomorrow....

I know it'll be hard for you.

No comment on the MIL thing...

I'll pray for you.

Take care and try and have a good day tomorrow.

I know, I know, we don't want to miss a second of this motherhood thing cause we love it so!!!

I feel your pain, I took off 12 weeks when we brought Mia home. I've been back to work for 3 weeks now and it has been so depressing. My mil is also keeping my little one and that is also a story in itself.

I really need another job, mostly because I have a 2 hour commute each way so I need something closer to home. Although lately I think the only thing that would really make me happy is if I could be home with my girls. I need to hit the lottery or something.

so sorry to hear that. I can relate. I have been off since early Feb. and went back to work today. It was really tough, but DH is taking off two weeks to help with the transition. It was a bit easier knowing that DD was home with him, rather than with the sitter.
When it was time to go home though, I was so excited that I lost my keys--right in the middle of my desk in front of my eyes

Good luck getting through Tues.
