Do you ever wonder what goes through a working Mom’s head? I am a first grade teacher with an infant and these are my Confessions of a Working Mom.
I confess…It’s been three weeks since I went back to work and I definitely feel a whole lot different than I thought I would.
I confess… I like my job.
I confess… I feel guilty when Annabelle cries at baby school because I really do like my job.
I confess… I have been going to bed before 9pm every night since I started working again. Usually I go to sleep right after Annabelle…it’s pretty pathetic.
I confess… getting dressed every morning for the day is kind of fun. I almost forgot I had so many cute items of clothing!
I confess… I haven’t washed my hair this many times a week in 8 months. When I was just a SAHM Mom I would go DAYS without washing – and not because I knew it was healthier to wash it less, but because I was lazy.
I confess… somehow my house is cleaner and I’ve made dinner more often since going back to work. Apparently having less free time gives me a less dirty house and home cooked meals.
I confess… working has me watching less t.v. and I kind of like it. I feel like less of a zombie.
I confess… the moments I spend with Annabelle at night and on the weekend mean SO much more to me now. Everyone told me that I would cherish our time together even more so, and I truly believe that I do. When we get home every evening, I chuck my phone to the side and give her my undivided attention until B gets home. Then the three of us play together until her bedtime. This is becoming my favorite part of the day.
It’s crazy to think that just a fews month ago I was a stay at home Mom… read my confessions of a stay at home Mom post here.
