I am definitely going to be checking back on this because I hate being away from E to work too. This last week was pretty much awful and made me totally feel your pain.
I hate it. It is hard to be away from the kiddos. I have been so lucky to have been able to stay home most of the summer. But I am going to be working like a mad woman again here shortly and I am not excited. Just the thought makes me want to cry. But, I call them at least twice a day just to check in and hear their voices. I even talk to Remi. It makes it a little easier. I also plan on doing my freezer meal extravaganza again because then the time that I do have with my family is better spent. And then just giving them lots of love and attention when I am not at work.
I hate having to leave my kiddos to go to work as well but something that gets me through the day is carrying a family picture in a clear pouch on my name tag. It reminds me why I have to work and the days are much easier. I also call home on my lunch breaks. I don't think anything can really cushion the blow!
I'm sorry Nicole. I really can't imagine being gone all day from my little ones. I am teaching piano from home. I have 10 students now. It's really nice to be able to contribute something while still putting my priority to my children. Is there anything you could do from home?

ReplyDeleteI don't work away from home enough since it's only 2 hours a day, and some mornings when I teach she and Kev are still asleep when I get home.
