Stepping into the non remote working world like.....

Before having my daughter I started my very first remote job. It was incredible, meetings and conference calls in my pjs, I mean what’s not to love. It was much more appreciated when I found out I was pregnant. I thought, this is major and it’s going to be easy working from home with my baby. Easy peasy. Oh silly before having kids brain! After the babe, it took me a few months to get comfortable and return to my remote job. I still needed a sitter, which is a whole other post. It worked, it was convenient. Well that remote job came to an end not too long ago and I was offered a position which is part time (love) BUT non remote (ahhhhhhhhhh, leave my kid??!!).

Ok, I’m a week in and everyone has survived and obviously I know I’m not the first mother to go back into an office job after a baby. Yo- it was so tough but on the bright side I am digging not being home all the time. Of course, I miss my kid, but it also helps her figure things out without me. Sure I feel like she doesn’t miss me, it really seems like it doesn’t phase her that I’m gone, but I know that’s not the case. She’s 18 months, making sure she gets her bottle and we have Elmo on the screen are her current priorities.
