I am really struggling with the thought of returning to work next Tuesday. I am going back three days a week and DS2 is now 9 months old and I am returning for the first time since his birth.
I am so sad - I feel like i am greiving for the lovely 9 months that we have had, i feel like i have blinked and the time has gone. Every day i reminded myself to appricate the time as i know how quickly it goes and i really have but i am so sad that the time is over.
Every time someone mentions me returning to work i have to fight back the tears. I know that i am going to be in prices next week. I have to take DS2 for settling in sessions at nursery, sort out my work wardrobe (!!), prepare DS1 birthday party all in the next couple of weeks and i fell i just can't cope.
I know i will have 2 days a week at home with both my sons but this is just not the same as i find looking after them both quite hard work as DS1 wants me to play with him all the time andcan be quite demanding and i feel i have so little time to give DS2. I am ashamed to say it but i do resent DS1 a little for this. DS1 behavour isn't the best at the minute as i know he is picking up on my sadness and anxiety and it is making me a horrible shouty mummy .
I like the people i work with but don't really enjoy my job and i am not that good at it either and feel i just bluff my way through. Good everything is such a mess.
Thank you for reading and sorry it is such a ramble, I can't even string a sentence together at the minute.
Please tell me i won't feel like this forever.
