Back to work update.

I dreaded going back to work, but it has been three weeks now so it's time for an update. The verdict?

I love both of my jobs.

When I am at work I wish that I was working in the dealership five days a week. My current arrangement allows me to work from home 10-15 hours per week and I am in the store three days. I absolutely love being part of a car dealership. It is exciting every day. I am challenged with different projects and with the opportunity to learn new skills. There are so many interesting people, from my coworkers to our vendors to our customers. There is never a dull day.

When I am home with my girls I wish I could be home seven days a week. I didn't know how much I would love being a mother. I didn't know that I would enjoy watching every small action of their daily lives. Today Ana rolled over for the first time. It is adorable. I could watch it 1000 times and still think it is beautiful. I don't want to miss a single moment of their lives.

So right now I am searching for balance. I have to say no to extra work responsibilities so that I am not overwhelmed at home. And when I arrive to work, I have to trust that my babies are in good care so that I can focus on my job. I miss them like crazy.

Who would want to leave these two goofballs?! ADORABLE!

I know that I can be happy doing both. I am truly blessed and grateful that my job is flexible so that I can spend time with my beautiful little girls.

Moms who work: how did you feel when you went back to work? What did you do to make it easier to balance work and being a mommy?
