I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Alright all you moms out there who told me there is no way you will be able to go back to work full time when the time comes. Well you were right and I was wrong there I admit it. About 6 weeks ago I went to work sat down with the manager and told her I would like 4 days a week. In my mind this was perfect, Macie would only be in a day home one week 2 days  and the next week 3 days.  I felt good about that and thought I would like being back at work and bringing in some good money again. Well 3 weeks ago I was sitting in bed nursing Macie and I started bawling. The thought of not being at home with Macie all the time was so heartbreaking. I love this little girl more then anything and I new at that moment I was not going to be able to do this. I fought it for a while, but finally I broke down and had to tell Mark, we talked about it for a while and finally came to the conclusion that I would not be going back to work full time, but two days a week. I called my boss and we went for a nice long walk and I told her how I was feeling. Thank goodness my work is amazing and they totally understood. They have agreed to let me come back two days a week. Every Tuesday from 11-7 and Friday from 9-5. I am so excited to have those two days a week to do a job I love and spend time with adults and people I love. I am excited Macie will get one day a week with just her and her dad, and I am excited that Macie will hopefully feel like one day a week she goes to a friends house for a play date, but what I am really excited about is that 5 days a week I am at home all day with my little girl. As of right now this scenario feels like perfection to me.
