A quick update. I am returning to work tomorrow and while I am sad my time away is over, I am feeling much better about going back to work than I was last Tuesday. After my post last week, things have improved dramatically. I got my cry out of my system and have been able to focus on the positives about returning to work. Belén has become a lot more opinionated and active even in the past week and I can see that being at home would become more and more challenging by the day. While I am sure it would still be very rewarding, it would be difficult to couple this with my growing need to accomplish something. I do, however, wish that there was some way to couple my desire to be with her at least part of the day with working, but that is not possible with my current job. I actually just started a program to learn about internet marketing, so maybe I will learn enough about it to become wildly successful and be able to work part-time from home while still pulling in the same salary. 
A girl can dream. It is funny we were chatting with our neighbors this weekend talking about jobs and we decided we were envious of Erica (the woman we were talking to) because she can set her own hours and work as much as she wants. She is a therapist for children who are developing slowly and need help. Her husband said, “gosh, I wish I could go back and tell my college self that the goal of it all is to train for a job that you can work part-time in.” Funny, but we all agreed. Who knew our goal should have been to work part-time. I thought it was to be CEO.
