It's official. I'm returning to work.
After recently interviewing at a 'local' bank, I was offered a job. Over the weekend, I struggled to come to terms with wanting to work and not wanting to leave the girls. After much internal debate, I knew what the answer was. I had to take the job.
On the upside, it is part-time, which means I won't miss the whole day with them. And, once Em is back in school, she won't even realize I'm gone. I'll be home in time to pick her up from school - just like I did last year without working.
It's hard to think of leaving them again. I had really settled into being home. Taking care of them. Having fun. But I know that it will all work out. They will be happy and well adjusted without me around them 24/7.
I just hope that when the girls look back on their childhood they remember the times that we shared. And not that I was absent.
