Today was my first FULL DAY back to work. 8 hours without my baby! Ok, ok, my Toddler... Granola Baby is nearly 16 months old. It's been tough leaving her. Heartbreaking to hear her cry for me when I leave in the morning... But she does good with her daddy during the day. He can even get her to take a nap without babywearing, a car ride, or nursing... The only ways she will nap for me!
Overall this going back to work thing has been very rewarding. I work for a local coffee roasting company, North Pole Coffee, at their cafe in the community hospital. I worked in coffee for years before becoming a nanny, and shortly there after, a mom. It is so refreshing to have some "grown up" time in my days. I love working in coffee; the heat, the smell; the timing & rythum of pulling shots & steaming milk; the friendly interaction with customers. I feel young again: invincible.
It's almost silly, that I get such a deep sense of satisfaction from something as simple as a little coffee job. But it feels good.
To top it off, I'm so proud of my man! He has really stepped up to the plate, both as father & partner. Seeing him shine in his role as daddy, makes him stragely attractive. I find myself falling for him all over again, but in a new & different way. A grown up way? Perhaps. Does this bring on pangs of baby fever? Most def.
but alas we are not in a super hurry to get pregnant again. It will happen when the time is right.
So why am I up at nearly 1 am, you ask? To write to you, beautiful blog readers! Beyond that, I am ironing a beautiful handwoven wrap I've got to ship out tomorrow for a trade, & washing baby's AppleCheeks cloth diapers.
Are there ever enough hours in the day?
Doubtful.
But make the most if the hours you have. La vie est belle!
Ps...
