First thoughts

Started this as a way of expressing my feelings about going back to work after having a baby. Am currently in negotiations with work about what my options are to go back and I don't think I'm going to get exactly what I want - although this may turn out not to be such a bad thing after all.

To explain, I gave birth to my little boy last july, and have been enjoying being a stay-at-home mum ever since. However I like the independance that having my own money brings and now that I'm getting nothing but child benefit I've arranged to go back to work in May for 3 days a week, as the nursery he's booked in can only take him part time until September. Ideally I'd likt to go back full time over 4 days so that I still get to spend 3 days a week with him. However I get the feeling that this will not be possible and am feeling somewhat down about having to spend five whole days a week away from him.

Anyway will follow up with more when I have time - have to go and prepare his tea before he wakes up.
