Well, I guess I should start off saying a little bit more about me than what the description says. I currently work for in the corporate headquarters of a financial company and recently my duties have been reassigned to another area. I am fortunate that my boss' boss and his boss have said I still have a job - which I am very thankful for. Trust me; I know I am thankful to have a job right now even if I feel very disenchanted at the moment. So where does that leave me??? With nothing to do. Hmmm...weird predicament at work I know. The powers that be above me are scratching their heads trying to figure out what to do with me. I have no idea what my new assignment will be. So in the meanwhile, I come to work read blogs and feel depressed. There was a common theme in the blogs I have read, Blogging is Therapeutic. Now I will say I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination. I am a number cruncher. I write and say things bluntly. I am also someone who doesn't share emotions too well. OK, I suck at it. So I am hoping by anonymously blogging I can break down some of the barriers I build up inside.
Enough of the work stuff, now the important stuff. My family. My husband and I married after a whirl-wind courtship. Engaged after five months. Married five months after that. Twenty eight days before my wedding I hadn't gotten my period in a while and was felling a bit off. Surely I couldn't be pregnant, I was on birth control. Surprise. Luckily we were planning to start trying immediately after the wedding. In the four and a half years we have been together we have survived a wedding, three moves, built a house, had a baby, survived colic, multiple health issues with parents, a miscarriage, kidney stones, heat stroke and we are still together. I do have an amazing husband. He was a 44 year old bachelor when we met. And I must say he has adjusted to his new life pretty well. He is a great father and a wonderful husband. AND he does housework!
My little boy is the light of my world. He is three and loves his mommy. He is very bright and extremely cute - no, I am not biased. I am fortunate that my company has a daycare here on site. I love the fact that I know the director of the daycare and her boss. I know all of the teachers and most of the other parents. And I can pop in on him whenever I want. While I do feel guilty time to time about not being the stay at home mommy, I know that if I were at home with him, he wouldn't be learning what he learns at daycare. And before any mothers who work inside the home get upset I am of the belief that some moms are very good at teaching their children at home. I just don't think I am one of them. Not saying I don't teach my child either. I think he gets a good balance. I hope.
One of the other reasons for blogging, besides the cheap therapy, is I keep searching for working mother blogs and didn't see too many of them. Every mommy blog I read were stay at home mothers. Something I could relate to, others I couldn't. And a lot of the blogs and articles on parenting make me feel let's just say less than adequate. So if you are a working mom and less than perfect I hope we can share a common, less than perfect bond.
