Back to reality....

I have four days left of maternity leave.  I can't believe it is over.  Part of me is excited to go back and part of me is scared.  Will I have the same drive I did before or is it completely gone?  I hope I am still able to do my job well. I absolutely love the company I work for and would like to stay there for a long time.

I have really enjoyed my time on maternity leave I got to spend some quality time with my girls and went on an amazing vacation to Hawaii.  I am really looking forward to some structured time with adult interaction where I don't hear the word Mommy 400 times a day.  Now I know that makes it seem like I don't like my kids but I love them I just get tired of the mommy when I know she needs nothing.  Or that everything has to be a battle.  My three year old has discovered a major attitude and it isn't a pleasant one.  She knows how to turn on the cute when needed and then be the exact opposite when she wants to which is more and more often.

Madelyn is my new born and she is growing like a weed!  Already wearing 6 month clothes and cooing and doing tons of smiling and laughing.  She has already rolled over both ways and can grip a few of her toys.  She sits up assisted and is working on some standing.  I think this is all great for a little gal who started in the NICU. 

We have started looking for a Nanny and are interviewing our first one today.  I hope we love her because we are running out of time.  Well that's whats going on with me.
