| BORING! In real life I have an iPhone in a bright pink case. |
Earlier in the week Charlotte and I were out grocery shopping. She was adorably snuggled in the Moby Wrap as I stocked up to get us ready for when I went back to work. I was already emotional about the first day back, so of course I ran into a total stranger who’s unsolicited comments made me feel like crap. A woman admiring my baby stopped me and asked me all the usual questions. How old is she? How’s she sleeping? I mentioned I was going back to work later in the week. She said, “Oh! Don’t do that!” Oh, sure lady. Salary and benefits be damned! I’ll just quit. As if I wasn’t dreading it enough, I don’t need you giving me the working mom’s guilt trip. Shut your trap!
Honestly, I forgot all about that woman when during my day I was able to read wonderful little notes from friends.
I got this from Meagan, an old high school friend on Facebook…

My sister-in-law Hilary is a fellow working mom and she called with kind words of understanding. Then I got home and of my favorite people, Trish, brought me these…

Spread it around:
You did it!!
Great job!
There will ALWAYS be parents who think they know more about parenting your kid than you do. Always.
😉 Good luck!
You can do it, because you did it! You'll be great! And so will Charlotte. Hope it gets easier as you go!
Pure Hawaiian Coffee. A true gourmet coffee grown entirely in Hawaii and considered one of the world’s premier coffees. Grown in rich, volcanic soil in a beautifully unique climate, tended and picked by hand. Unquestionably one of the world’s finest coffees! A smooth, elegant and perfectly balanced rich flavor. When you grind and brew these big beans, you'll experience an aroma and a flavor that are pure paradise.
100% Kona. From the Kona District on the Big Island Hawaii. (100% – not a blend.) Certified Kona is considered by many connoisseurs to be the ultimate coffee pleasure. A coffee with the world-renowned Kona character, a full, rich flavor with balanced acidity, great aroma and long finish lacking bitterness. Unquestionably one of the world’s finest coffees!
100% Kona Peaberry. The champagne of Kona coffee! This is the most exclusive of all the beans with only 5% of the crop producing Peaberry. Instead of two beans to a cherry, Peaberry is produced when only one oval compact bean develops to maturity. Peaberry is highly prized for its smooth, full flavor and low acid content. The flavor in these small beans is simply more concentrated so the Kona flavor jumps right out at you!

Aww, man, I am sure if anyone can do it, you can. It will be tough but you're gonna rock the working-mom thang, I just have a feeling about it.
once you get in a groove, it'll get smoother. we do what we gotta do as moms and many older generation woman don't get that. no more are the days when life is affordable on one income. I had to leave the little ones when they were 7 weeks old to go back to work. my paid maternity was only 4 weeks and we could afford too many extra weeks. while i was dropping damian off at the sitter, her neighbor asked me the same questions and had a similar reaction. i said "ok, so when can i expect the first check from you" she looked at me and said, excuse me. i said "well someone's gotta help my husband pay the bills, the rent, buy the diapers and the formula and whatever else the baby needs. i figured you were offering since you're telling me it's a bad idea."
yes, i can be really mean sometimes.
I'm so happy it went well!! I'm sure you were exhausted, but yay!!! You're doing it!
And can I just say that you have an unusual amount of people who tend to offer you unsolicited & ridiculous advice. I don't know how you keep your mouth shut, I'm afraid I'd start getting rude. LOL
