Feel a bit blue…

I know I’m lucky to have a job, a fantastic nursery that my kids are in and in amazing hands

I just feel sad as today is my first Friday back in over a year.

I went on maternity leave end of November 2023 to have DS2. I dropped my eldest sons nursery days and we had more time together I loved it!! I returned to work after DS2 started nursery but used up my excessive leave all saved to take Mondays and Fridays off. I now have Mondays but have had to go back Fridays and I’m gutted

We would go to. The library on Fridays and my eldest boy on the way home asked me were we today and I felt so bad. He’s in an amazing nursery it’s not that. I just want the time!

I have mentioned to DH and were looking at our finances to see if I could cut another day. I think it’s worth the money cut if my work can do it! I miss my Friday fun with them already

Had a few little cries today despite my kids being absolourely fine going in aha!
