Bumming hard today

Because it is my last day of maternity leave.  At 7:30pm tonight I will start my first shift in almost 8 weeks and I'm actually a little nervous.  It hit me yesterday that I don't even remember my passwords to get onto the computer and get logged into our charting system!  I'm hoping that it will come back to me sooner rather than later otherwise, I could have an interesting shift!  On the flip side of things, I'm trying to stay positive and realize that I had almost 8 weeks with my precious baby girl that I didn't have to worry about going to work and all that goes with it.  I'm also very grateful for my friends at work that so graciously donated some of their vacation time to me so that I was able to take off as long as I did and still get paid.  I am incredibly lucky to work with such generous people!  I'm also grateful that my beautiful baby girl is healthy and will be 8 weeks old on Thursday!  I cannot believe how incredibly lucky we have been in regards to our childrens' health.  So, even though I've been complaining ALOT about having to go back to work, I know that I have many more things to be thankful for than not, and I also know that as much as I love my children, I could never hack it as a stay-at-home-mom.  I do enjoy adult interaction, I love my job (some days more than others) and being away from Greg, the kids, and our home just makes me appreciate all of it 1000 times more.  Plus, there is nothing like having a rough day at work and coming home to the wonderful feeling of hugging your kids and knowing that they can make you smile no matter what you went through that day.
