Next week I return to work. I am extremely thankful for Canadian maternity leave; 52 weeks paid at 55% of your regular earnings. If your lucky enough to have an employer who tops you up even better. Me not so much. Only the 55% here. It makes living tight but we get by and soon we will be back to our regular income.
I've felt ready to return for a few weeks now, but funny enough the closer it gets the less ready I am. I'm going to miss these days terribly.
So good bye pajama days, play dates, and afternoon naps.
Hello alarm clock, paychecks, make up and the outside world.
Ty did and half day at daycare last week and has another on Thursday. I have no real worries for him aside from naps and generalized worry with food.
Fingers crossed Mav adjusts well to having Ty join him at his safe place. Daycare has been his get away and I really hope he's ready to share.
But first we have to plan the birthday party. This Saturday, a week early we are celebrating and so this week will be all about getting ready. So much to do, so little time.
