Every year when I go back to work, I get depressed. It lasts for the first couple of weeks of school and resurfaces after long holidays. You think I would learn that #1 this was going to happen and I could better prepare myself by taking loads of Vitamin D and... #2 there's going to be another vacation- time's not going to stop in the middle of a long work stretch. I try to be positive and think about all the good I'm doing in the lives of children, but honestly, I would rather be in bed or playing at the park with my babies. Today my wonderful friend Meagan sent me a link to an article about working moms and depression rates. Apparently its all about being realistic. Who cares if my laundry is always backed up because I work, I have never been a perfectionist so I need to quit pretending in my head that I have all together. So, we have dishes in our sink, but I also have an incredibly supportive husband, a beautiful, healthy family and am making an impact on a daily basis. After reading this, I vow to try to be more realistic and relaxed about EVERYTHING!
Enjoy the article, Thanks Meagan!
