I am heading back to work on Monday and I am pretty nervous. I am also excited to be getting back to it... becuase I am happiest when I am busy and work keeps me very very busy.( not to mention all that social interaction!!!)
I am not quite the same person I was before I went out. I am now the mommy of three beautiful children and have once again got to practice some life skills that involve very little sleep, a crying person( a little one- but still crying!) and the fine art of communication. The practice of these life skills has given me a little bit more confidence when it comes to dealing with people( if i can learn to please and satisfy a baby that can't speak a word- imagine my newfound communication skills i can apply at work:) But also, there is another part of me that is not quite the same.I haven't seen most my co-workers in 11 1/2 weeks. The last time they saw me I was eight months preggo and exhausted! I cannot tell you what condition I was in when I went to work- including weither or not I was wearing contacts OR MAKEUP( oh the shame of it all! but seriously- at that time i did NOT care) I have lost all of my pregnancy weight( yippee!) but lets face it- I am not the skinny mini Barbie I once was- not even close.
So I took a deep breathe, winced as I pulled out the debit card and I went shopping! I got new clothes, new shoes, and made a last minute decision to get new hair. I wanted to go back to work and make a statement which is not "stay at home mom for the last 3 months- do these dress pants come in a stretchy cotton material like the sweat shorts i have on now? Will they go with flip flops?" but what I wanted to say is: " I am woman hear me rawr!" ( and not in a bra burning kind of way- but more of a" I am a professional and a hot mama!)
SO I did go a little more edgy with my hair- something that used to be typical of me back in my college days but not so much so in the last four years .....
I have decided I really like it- it looks FRESH!
Now if i could just get rid of the nervous jitters in my stomach and gain a calmness that matches my posh exterior... wink....

YAY!!!! You have a blog! I LOVE your new hair, it's very chic!! And Olivia is such an incredibly beautiful baby!
Love ya!
I didn't even know you were posting here!! I am so glad. This all reminds me of Xanga, and I hope you continue to blog here.
I love the new hair. It is so you, and it is edgy. One think you certainly are, and that's a HOT MAMA! Rawr indeed.
Love you, best sister!
Hi there Mickey! Love the new hair! You're right---FRESH! Every now and then I do it too. I'm thinking I deserve a more vibrant red right now....to receive my academy award with!
I love those pics of the kids. I wish I'd had a camera around more often to capture the crazy antics of my boys, but am in the process of starting a blog to track all their pics and funny sayings.
Keep on writing---and I'll try to practice what I preach :O)
Love Mxxoo
