My Last Week

Posted December 10, 2012 by elizatilton in Uncategorized / 7 Comments

Today starts the last week of my maternity leave…

On December 18th, I’ll be back at work full-time and leaving this behind.

It’s not easy, but it’s a must. I work for a good company and my job is very stable. My goal is to eventually make enough from writing that I’ll be able to make what I make now, plus enough to cover all the medical benefits I get. 

Although going back to work stinks, I’m lucky that my husband’s work allows him to watch the kids. I feel blessed for that. I know many parents who don’t have that privilege.

So what do I plan on doing this week?

I have a bunch of books I want to read: FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK, EVER, ENTWINED.

I also have to finish with my edits–so excited!

And last…spend lot’s of snuggle time with the kids : )

  1. I am planning on taking 12 weeks for my second. 6 was too short… then again forever is too short. Glad you have a husband with a flexible job. We do half day daycare so it could be worse. Good luck getting back to work!!

    • definitely do that. I took six weeks maternity leave, two weeks of saved vacation, then four weeks unpaid–FMLA. The unpaid is rough, but worth it.
