Working Mom

Boy did I miss my little man over the past few days.  Talking to him on the phone morning and night helped, but it wasn’t enough.  Even though I was only gone 3 days, it was long for him.  His behavior started to turn a bit on Wednesday and left his teacher asking L “Is anything going on at home?”.  Luckily I don’t travel much! 

This led me to thinking – what if I did travel for my job?  Women do this every day, but how do they remain successful in both aspects of their lives?  And then I remembered this great article I read via Goop.  If you aren’t familiar with the newsletter, I recommend signing  up.  So if you’re a working mother, take a minute to read A Day in the Life… care of Goop.

So back to this morning… I anxiously waited for G to wake and wouldn’t you know it, that little shit didn’t wake up until almost 8am!!  But he was just as excited to see me as I was to see him.  He said “Sit down mommy.  You going to work?” and my heart broke.  I promised we would make up for lost playtime tonight and asked what he’d like to play.  His response “cars”.  Shocker.  As I was running out the door he said “See you later allee-gator, after while crock-a-dollah”.  Followed by “I love you Mommy”.  My little lover…
