Tough day at the office

I'm really suffering from a 'grass is greener' syndrome today.

I started my flexi/part time job this morning and it was a serious waste of time putting on any eye make-up or mascara when I got dressed, as it had all been washed off by crying before I was 100m down the road.

I know my daughter is fine at home, and I know I will get to see her in the afternoon, and besides, it's only 3 days a week... And I've heard from other moms who have returned to work how hard it is, but boy is it hard...

I wanted to contribute to our family's income and I wanted a little bit of intellectual stimulation. And now all I want to be is a Mommy. Will I ever find a new identity that I am happy with?

Let's just hope it gets a little easier as time goes on.
