After putting work off 6 months longer than originally planned, then returning half as many days as planned, I finally returned with little enthusiasm, and a lot of apprehension... The company was really patient, and the only pressure I felt about having time off when bubs was sick, was the pressure I put on myself.
Well, it has been nearly one year, and I can look back and say it wasn't a bad one at all. I landed up in a very fun, smart team, with an extremely supportive boss and 2 up. We have had a pirate cruise, a bowling party, a black and white masquerade ball at the Hilton, and I missed out on some of the other stuff we did.
I passed my assessment, and got a $1000- bonus, and our team just won $1000 for a sales incentive, and are throwing a big party for ourselves next week.
Along with rugby, and winning the grand final for the Sydney Women's Premiership, I can say it wasn't a bad year after all, for a boring old mum like myself! While everyone else looks forward to Christmas, I am looking forward to the New Year, making plans and setting goals... If this is how good motherhood can be flying by the seat of your pants - I'm keen to add a little purpose to the mix to see what I can achieve.
I want my baby to be proud of his Mumma - cos she sure is proud of him! |
