Whew.
Thank goodness it's Saturday! What a complete stress-fest it's been at work. Not to mention all the Halloween candy lying around, jumping into my mouth without any provocation - man, I'm surprised I've lost weight this week. But I've been pushing the water and walking like crazy... YES, getting off the bus 2 blocks early, taking the stairs a lot at work, I'm doing it.
DH has been delivering DD to me every day at work, too, so that's been cutting down on the pumping - and provided a very nice break in my day to see them - sometimes DS is there too - the whole family. It is a little freaky - hanging out in a car with my family for a half an hour on my lunch break, just to breast feed. But it seems to be working well. My DS (3.5 yo) loves the snacks I bring him (grapes, apples, cheese) and we all get to visit. And DD's face lights up when she sees me. That's enough to take the edge off my day at work.
WORK. Yeah, I left last night at 6:30 mumbling to myself - out loud - "I hate my #@&! job." I'm certain one of the attorneys heard me. We all have those days, but I've been having them consecutively for a while now. Something has to give. We'll see.
In the meantime, I'm happy I'm home, happy I'm shrinking again, happy I have such a beautiful family. I'm thankful for a lot. I just have to keep remembering the good things to get me through the stress.
Wishing you stress-free weekends, everybody!
