That is such a silly phrase.... all women are working women, aren't they! Let me rephrase that... gone back to the out of home job kind of working woman!
My maternity leave has come to its end. I am sneaking a quick couple of minutes at my job to say.... this is me, working hard! It has not been too bad. The boys all get to stay home with Daddy and I get to come out and play, mingle with the ladies at my beloved job.
Now the hard work will begin next week.... I am in a transition period these 5 days.. getting appraised of changes and refamiliarizing myself with procedures and meeting new clients etc. Next week I assume all of my role.. back into the busy rush. I get to make my office my own again, chit chat with my friendly co workers, and make plans for my new work goals. I AM good at what I do, I really am! I AM more than Mommy... I can find meaning outside of my home, away from my children and Michael. I needed to be reminded, I guess. Or I needed just to remember.
I am grateful that this change has had relatively little impact on Colin. His daily routine has remained intact with the exception of Daddy taking care in the early part of the day and Mommy rushing home to his hugs in the evening.

Good for you Laurel, that you are realizing that you can accomplish more than you thought! I have to admit, I envy you for having both a home and work life. I will have to muster up the courage one day as well to venture back out into the scary working world! With you as an example, I hope I will feel more secure in knowing that I can do more, know more and be more and that the work I may do is worthy! You are always an inspiration to many!
sorry, that was me! Kryt xoxo
