So the big question that I am getting asked alot lately is "Are you planning to return to work?" My HR rep even called me last Thursday to ask. I always reply with a resounding YES!!! I knew motherhood was hard, but I never realized how much easier it is to work. Plus, you get paid. So here are my pros and cons to working.
Pros:
* Getting paid!!! I think that is pretty self-explanatory.
* Time to eat (and actually chew) lunch and snacks. Plus, you get paid to do it!
* Usually, no one screams at you. Note that I said usually.
* You can go to the bathroom when you need to or just if you need to stretch your legs.
* Getting to see and talk to all my friends.
* I'll have something else to talk about. Right now, my conversations are limited to diaper changes and feedings.
Cons:
* I won't get to see little one's smiles all day.
* I can't go to work in my pajamas. I think I have lived in these things for the past 12 weeks.
* My boss expects me to get work done. Imagine that. :-)
* No midday nap. Not that I have had many of those while at home. And who knows? My desk might be quite comfy. ;-)
* Monty and Zoey are going to freak! They demand food all the time now. I doubt they will waste away though.
So January 2, I re-enter the workforce. Hooray!

Who knew work would ever look so inviting! Now you get to enter the world of actually being able to use the "sick child" excuse to log in from home and not actually work.
Yay! I've missed talking to you over IM.
