Lately I find myself consumed with thoughts about work, working, and the workplace. That's because I'm making my return back to work. I accepted an offer today. GASP! As if that is so extraordinary of me, yea I know. Surely the many working moms out there must have some good tips from the trenches on how to transition/survive, yes? I cried already at the thought of leaving my precious baby little one while driving home from a second interview, pretty certain a job offer would be extended to me––and it was––and so now, I'm going back to work. It's been 17 months of staying at home that I can't help but worry about so many things: Will I still be a good mom? Will I fare okay in corporate America? Will my heart be in the work? Will I make it to work on time in the mornings? Will I make it to daycare in time to pick him up before they close? Will the dog be okay? Will he still remember how to be gentle with the dog? Will I still have the energy/time to prepare healthy meals? Will he still love me? If you're reading this, please tell me how you do it all!
