It's hard to write about it, because I don't know quite how I feel. I'm happy - I think it will be good to reconnect with my "grownup" self. I'm sad - even if it's only three days a week, I will be leaving my babies. I'm nervous - some days I have such bad mummy brain, I can hardly remember my own name, what if I inadvertently cause the entire banking system to collapse? Okay, that's seriously unlikely but you never know.
It's probably exaggerating to say that my return to work may save my sanity. Probably. Financially, it's not necessary. My salary will cover nanny and travel costs with more than enough left over for a weekly cleaner (hallelujah...) I will get to drink hot cups of tea. I will get to go to the gym. I will spend three days a week wearing clothes without food or snot on them (I hope...) and talking to adults. And then I will spend four days with my beautiful babes.
Enjoying the bouncy castle before BBQ guests arrive
The glorious weather this weekend has been great both for our Independence Day BBQ and as my SAHM send-off. I'm even more pleased that the weather is still supposed to be hot and sunny at the end of the week, so I can continue to enjoy fabulous summertime with the kiddiwinks.
My all-time, iconic summer song
