Back in the Saddle Again

 

Time is a funny thing.  There is so much of it and yet, so terribly little.

My Nana Thomas once said that life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

Yep. It has been 12 weeks and my maternity leave has run out.  I am heading back to work and while I keep telling people that it will be great to talk to grown ups again, no one believes it.  Least of all me.  I will miss my mid day baby snuggles and having the little boys all to myself.  I will miss the afternoons running errands with them and singing with them in the car.  I will miss going to day care early and sitting on the deck, watching Thor play with the other kids.

I am instead getting conference calls and project plans and all too soon, airports and hotels away from my family.  I am not trading up here.

I will be OK and after a while will be glad that I am back.  After that first overnight away from the boys, it probably won't be so bad.

Until then I may pick up a lottery ticket or two.
