Back to Life, Back to Reality......

Well, time's up. Tomorrow, I'm headed back to work. Although, it will be a short week, only going in on Monday and Thursday. The original plan was for me to return to work on May 2nd, but then I had Chase 3 weeks early. So, unless I wanted next 3 weeks to be unpaid, back to work I go. That brought me to April 18th, but then I got a request a few weeks ago to do the Q1 review for one of my clients. The manager that had taken over for me had scheduled a vacation, and since she had just worked her butt off in busy season, I was more than willing to return a week earlier to help out.

So, here I am at 10pm, trying to get myself pumped up to go back to work. I've got a 33 page presentation I'm supposed to read over tonight to prepare for my meeting with the client tomorrow afternoon; but let's be honest, loan loss reserves are not the most interesting things to read about. I have lunch plans with one of my favorite partners and senior tomorrow, so I'm kinda looking forward to that. Since I wasn't technically supposed to go back until next week, the partner was gracious enough to let me do most of my work remotely this week, where I can still soak up these last few days with Chase before jumping back in fully next week. And hey, I even bought myself a new outfit for my big debut. :)

I'm kind of excited to go back. I miss alot of my co-workers and the 'adult interaction' that you don't get when you're home with a baby all day by yourself. And settling into a permanent routine will be nice. I took a load of stuff up to the daycare on Friday for Chase, so that he would have all of the essentials tomorrow and I wouldn't be stressed about forgetting something. I may get teary-eyed when I drop the boys off at school and head into work, but it won't be a full emotional meltdown like when I went back after Austin. But I will definitely be ready to love on them as soon as I get home!

So, here we go; wish me luck!!
