Back to Work!

It's Day 4 of the longest work week of my life. I now understand why "they" recommend you go back to work mid-week. It's extremely tiring stuff, even though I'm only doing half a day in the office and half a day working from home. There's so many extra layers of logistics to deal with - schlepping the pump and new bottles to work every day (so far I have not managed to make it there with a complete set of what I need), having to be home at an exact time to relieve the sitter (thank you Granddad!), making sure the Peanut eats well before I leave in the morning...the list goes on. I appeared on a panel at 9am this morning at George Washington University, and so Murphy's Law of course means that the Peanut literally cried from the time I crawled into bed at 10pm last night until 5am this morning. It was a war of attrition, and I did not win. An obscenely large coffee and a bag full of nerves got me through, but I've got new respect for my working mother sisterhood. Sheesh.
