The End of Maternity Leave....

Let me start by saying - WOW, I can't believe how much I love our little princess.  She has ALL of my heart.  I knew that I would experience an overwhelming feeling of love when I finally held her in my arms, but I didn't realize just how much that love grows each day and the insane amount of joy I feel every time I think about or look at our princess.

This has been the post that I have been dreading to write.  I was hoping that if I put it off - thinking about it, talking about it, writing about it - that this day would not come.  But, sadly, my maternity leave is over....Ughhh....

Returning to work is a very bittersweet feeling.  I am excited to return to my classroom and students, BUT I am feeling so guilty, anxious and sad about leaving Graycen.  Today, I'm wishing that I lived in California, or Canada, or Europe to have an extended maternity leave.  I know I am lucky; however, I will return to work for the next 17 days before summer vacation begins. So here we go....17 more days until summer break and my next role - working mom.
