Love, bubs and life on our little farm

I have decided to go back to work an extra day a week... as of next week. So that puts me at three days a week.

As I have mentioned many times before - stay at home mum I am not. Of course I love my time with Elka and adore pottering around but I need to get off the property and talk to other people and use my mind. Its just how I am.

Two days a week just wasn't enough time as a scientist - I couldn't achieve enough in the laboratory, was stressing out and taking home so much work anyway. So I am looking forward to it - I think I will be more relaxed....

I hate how working mothers feel they have to justify how much their child loves daycare so I wont go into a big guilt-laden rant about how much Elka thrives in daycare. Obviously I know my child and what is best for her and I am completely content with her in care three days a week. Enough said.

And I feel very blessed- lucky that I love my career and very fortunate that I can choose my work hours based on my whims rather than our finances.

And of course more work days means more lovely work outfits ;)
