Hard at Work

This week I started orientation at my new job.  The first few days were from home, so I enjoyed long hours in front of my computer, reading and reading... and reading.

This is Lucy's Eskimo outfit - helpful for keeping her nice and warm in her crib at night.

Anyways, I am now midway through my orientation, and I have to say that leaving Lucy all day has been tougher than I thought it would be.  I mean, every mom says it's hard.  But there's something, in my opinion, disturbing about how hard it is.  Who is this little person that suddenly has such a hold on me?

I am so grateful for my education and for a career that allows me to only work very minimally.  After my orientation is over, I really will only work a small amount - and mostly on the weekends, when Daniel can watch her.

Today I am home, and so grateful to be holding her :).   I hope you're having a nice Thursday, too!
