I've said it before but to remind you it was my choice to return to work early. I think no matter when you return it will still be a hard day.
So this is my day:
Got woken up at about 4am by a screaming J, hubby had already gotten up a few times during the night, this time I got up too J was running a tempature again. Poor little thing he has tonsilitis mixed with teething, not pleasent for anyone let alone a 8 month old baby. Ibrophen and bottle later he was back to bed, I managed to get some more sleep until 6am when my alarm went off. Hubby had joked the night before why did I need to set my alarm as we had our own one in the other room but I'm glad I had now.
Shower, hair washed and dried and dressed was mixed with hubby having to pop his work van to his colleague down the road, J waking up grumpy and then doing a poo just want I needed. Thankfully I had chosen my outfit for my return and sorted out what I needed to take the night before.
7.19am and I'm out the door taking the 8 minute walk to the bus stop. I've actually forgotten how busy the bus gets. Normally I would be getting the slightly earlier one as I would have to take J to nursery before work but of course today due to his tempature J stayed at home with daddy.
Sitting on the bus I'm actually filled with dread! I feel today is not going to be easy. Lots has changed in my job in the last 9 months!
Ended arriving 10 minutes late but my boss was fine. Nice touch was that my new colleagues had decorated my desk with balloons and a welcome back sign and my boss had brought me some flowers and a card. 1st thing was spent getting logged into my computer as me not remembering my password followed by sorting out my desk, emails etc.
I had pre-planned a lunch date with a colleague which was nice and of course I bumped into lots of old faces all who wanted to chat.
All in all it wasn't too bad! I'm glad I'm only doing a 2 day week this week! It's going to take some time to get back into the swing of things
