A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Life After Vacation

Last week we took vacation. This week I have been catching up on my work at my "real job" and other responsibilities. My boss has been on a two week vacation. Our vacations actually overlapped. While I was only gone four days, because my boss was gone I feel like it was longer. I actually returned to work one day earlier than planned because I felt the work pile growing!

One would think that I actually had more authority that I do given how dependent people seem to be on me. However, perhaps, I am the one with the identity problem. Maybe I am actually in charge, but I don't know it. Wouldn't that be crazy?!

I have been really involved in a board that I serve on. We've had meetings, conference calls and assignments since I've been back. Volunteering has never cost me so much!

 

I have also been slowly unpacking and been somewhat delinquent on that. Andre's clothes and the toddler's clothes are unpacked. I put them away. Well, I had help with the toddler's clothes. Still, I even though I have been working hard, my clothes remain in the suitcase. When you are in charge of the unpacking you get to determine the priorities. It's only fair, right?

 

In any event I have been delinquent in my blogging duties or "slipping on my pimping" as my sister would say. Now, I at least have the energy to think about blogging. So, that's what I will do. Let me know if you have any interesting topics!
