Back to Work

I just finished my first week back at the office.  It was fantastic. I love my job but I had been nervous. Would Esther be ok? Would Van be happy? Where would they both go?

But I was lucky to end up with the ideal set up. My mom watches Esther. And not only that, I get to leave the house at 7, but mom doesn't come to pick up Esther until Esther wakes up at 9 or 10.
Zamzam (who Van loves, she watched him from ages 1 to 3) came back and we hired her as our nanny. She stays with Van, often bringing her son who is the a similar age, and they have picnics and go to parks.

Zamzam has also been keeping the house clean. Every day I come home and find some other little corner has been organized (or today my mountain of laundry had been done!). It's so fantastic. I think it takes at least 2 women to make one household run (for me, even when I'm not working).

And having Esther with my mom is so comforting. I never worry about her at all, I know she's safe and I can focus at work.

The best is Van today,
Me: "How was your day?"
Van: "My day was GREAT"
Me: "Oh I'm so glad! What did you do?"
Van: "play."
