Adelle - Our Angel Baby

In life, when going through a particularly difficult time, I find it helps to look at the future in terms of steps.  This way, things don't feel too overwhelming.  Today I took such a step. 

As I drove to the office to meet with my boss, I felt nervous.  Realistically, we spend just as much (if not more) time with our co-workers than we do with family.  I like to concider these ladies (henceforth called the "JC girls".  And IT guy, if you're reading this, this includes you) my extended family.  So, I didn't have time to get teary-eyed as a walked through the doors, because I was welcomed with smiles and hugs.  I had a short meeting with my boss to discuss details of my return to work in -yikes!- less than three weeks.  I think it will be ok.  It is to be expected that I will have good days and bad days (see previous posts).  For the most part, these ladies understand and have all, including my boss, assured me that they will support me in any way they can. 

I have been thinking about work frequently recently.  I took this job roughly three years ago in hopes of moving up in the company.  But when I found out I was expecting, this job was perfect for a mom: nine to five and no work to bring home.  I admit, guilty, that because I am going to be working just to work now (and not to provide for a family), I thought that this job wasn't the best fit for me.  But sometimes, who you work with is more important that what you do.  It's a lesson I am reminded of every time I am surrounded by these quirky people...
