we need a change
By heather | August 22, 2007
Wednesdays are hard. Wednesday doesn’t get the bad rap like Monday or the woo-hoo-TGIF like Friday. For most people, it signals “Yay! Work week half over!”
For me, Wednesday feels like halfway down a continuing downward spiral until I can attempt to catch up on Saturday, assuming I make it to Saturday without losing my mind. Saturday is when I will try to cram in all the baby time I missed during the week and will miss the next week.
In between baby time, I will try to catch up on my sleep, exercise, healthy eating, grocery shopping, bill paying, husband-time, and if I keep typing more things I will not be able to finish this entry.
When I first came back to work from maternity leave, I was able to work from home on Wednesday. Having that breather in the middle of the week made all the difference, I swear. Not having to pack everything the night before, not having to race around in the morning, being able to eat lunch that I didn’t make the day before, no calculating what time I got in and when I could leave, and most of all, not having to DRIVE anywhere gave me a mini-break.
I got to spend some precious uninterrupted, unhurried time with Alex that carried me through, especially in those first dark days of being back at work.
I looked at Alex this morning and calculated that I’ve spent approximately 4 hours with him since Monday and that makes me physically sick to my stomach. I’m trading time for money and somehow it no longer seems like a bargain.
