Hey, Where Is Everybody?

So let's be honest. I've been pretty lazy about this blogging thing lately. Well, lazy maybe isnt' the right word -- I just haven't had much to say or time to say it. So I've let this (and going to the gym but that's another story) slide in a serious way.

But when I was feeling guilty about being a lousy blogger the other day I remembered the reason I started this in the first place: to give all working moms a place to discuss, think about, revel in, and if necessary, complain about the ins, outs, complexities, irritations and joys of being a working mom.

Some days there's nothing better. Other days... well, let's just say that there are days when I would give just about anything to be alone on a beach with a good book, comfortable chair and a cooler full of snacks.

So that's me. Do you agree? Let me know. Write about it - the good days, the bad days, and the days that may have been better spent on the beach without your boss or your kids. Let's get this whole Guest Blog thing going again. Let's face it, I know a lot about being a working mom but not everything.

Hey! I just had to vent and miss my 10 month old son publicly. I work full time - my husband stays at home with our son. Yesterday I had to work from 7am - 10pm, so of course by the time I got home from work my son was already asleep - then this morning, it's back off to work I go at 7am so I haven't gotten to see my son in two days now... and it hurts. I can not wait to get out of work today and race home to see his smiling face.

Anonymous- I know how you feel :( I have a 7 month old at home (my husband has reduced hours so we can keep her more with family). I start work at 7 also & I'm a supervisor so sometimes my work Schedule is so hectic! I miss my daughter so much sometimes it's the worst pain.
She's starting to go through a little separation anxiety. The other day my husband dropped off something at my work & after a quick kiss to my baby- he texted me that she cried out to me in the car & kept looking around for me. At first I thought, that is so sweet! Then I dry-heaved twice.
I am seriously about to walk in and quit my job. But since I'm the main bread-winner, I'm stuck.
Does it get easier??
