A blessing.............................I think
I got news on Friday that I think could be good news but I am not quite sure yet. Haley has been coming to work with me for the last two months. It has been really hard. Having a crying baby in an office is tough, trying to keep her entertained in an office is extremely tough, then having any energy to be a mom to Taylor is just impossible. I have been feeling like something in my life needed to change because I just couldn't handle it.Then I got news on Friday I can no longer bring Haley to work with me. I have no desire to be away from my baby girl for 40 hrs a week. I just won't do it. They knew where I stood and have offered me to work from home full time. I would no longer be able to supervise my staff, (obviously because I am not going to be in the office)and I am not quite sure but I think it might involve a pay cut. I find out more on Monday. I am thinking that I would still go into the office maybe a few hours on Tuesday and Thursday to pick up and drop work off. I would probably want to have weekly meetings with my boss.I think I am excited about it but I am struggling with it. Part of me feels like I have let both my bosses down. (I know that this sounds dumb but I would be letting myself down if I worked full time with Haley in day care.) I would not necessarily get paid for working 40 hours a week but for accomplishing certain tasks which means if I wanted to go to play group on Friday's I could, if I wanted to walk the mall with some sisters from relief society I could. I no longer would have to get up at 4:00 to hit the gym, (which hasn't happened much lately anyways.) I am thinking that it sounds really good and am trying not to get too excited. Here is the funny thing I don't know why when I found out I cried and cried and cried. Maybe I just needed time to process the information but this sounds just absolutely amazing.Wish me luck and let's home it all works out for everyone involved.

Kristy -- things generally work out the way they are supposed to. If giving up a little cash allows you the time you need with your little one, well worth it. I'm glad you'll get to work at home and be with her.
Kristy, sorry things did not work out the way you had hoped. A lesson; sometimes things are not all they seem to be. I applaud your attitude, after you have had the chance to think about what transpired. Keep your chin up kiddo.
