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 : )
🙁
I know…I work 7-4 and it's close to home which isn't too bad.
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.
Such a cutie! Hope the transition back to work is smooth!
thank you. It'll be hard, but I keep reminding myself that working means money which means lots of cute dresses for her : )
Finnikin of the Rock — you've got to email me when you finish that. One of my favorites!!!!!
