Getting Into the Swing

It's been three weeks of back at work, and it has had it's challenges but been nice at the same time. Scott has gotten to spend some quality time with Sam while I've gotten to go to work and be challenged EVERY day while doing so. It's pretty incredible how fast babies grow. I don't know how some women work five days a week because after three, I feel like Sam has changed so much. During those three days of work, I don't get to spend much time with Sam... I leave at 6:30 A.M. ( Sam's usually still snoozing) and then I get home about 6:45 P.M. Sam usually goes to bed about 9 so I have dinner and spend little time with Sam in those short hours, so seeing her after that little time, it amazes me how much she's grown and developed. She now grabs at her toys, laughs, smiles, and talks all the time. Two week ago this wasn't the case. They learn so much so quick. I also found that one outfit will be a little big one week and then the next it won't fit! I am thankful that I only have to work three days a week or else I would not work! I can't believe some people go to work five days a week and depend on others to spend the primary time with their child... (I COULD VOMIT). Any time that you can spend with your child whether you're doing homework, extra work, making dinner, or ANYTHING... You should be spending with your child. Yes, I understand that date nights are more than necessary but I mean eventually you have to take the responsibility and cherish your time with your child. Don't come up with excuses like I need to do my homework so you can abandoned your child with someone else.... PUKE! Even after a 12 1.5 hour day, I am still excited to go pick up Sam and love on her and get dinner made and pick up the house and do laundry... I am puzzled by parents who do it differently. Even working three days is a stretch, but it works out well for me due to Scott!
