I've been back at work just over 6 months now and am coming to the end of a very large and very intensive project.
The last couple of months have been extremely stressful due to tight deadlines and lack of support by a certain colleague (enough said the better!  )
Before I went on maternity leave I used to love my job and found it very fufilling (sp?) but now the obvious has happend and I miss my girl so much!  especially since she's had cold after cold and now is sick again (literally).
The bank balance says I MUST work, which is fine I guess but I'd like to work the hours which mean I get to spend more time with Caitlin in the day. I'd even consider going back to customer service work but I doubt it would pay enough  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Can you do some night work so you are away from Caitlin less? Supermarket stocking or call centre or something? -------------  |

Big hugs, sorry your job sucks at the moment, but at least you get to take extended lunch breaks 
And don't go back to customer services, you'll get grumpy people like me ringing you up and abusing you all the time ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Big hugs
I too had to go back to work and even though I loved it before Gina was born, I miss being at home a lot more now. I work 4 days a week but 1.5 days are from home so I work when Gina sleeps which is cool - could you maybe do that? (I'm an accountant, sorry not sure what you do) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
