Back to the Grind

After not working for 10 days, it's hard to go back. Time went by so fast and now I feel like time will slow down. I know that there is at least MLK Day in 2 weeks. In February, there is Presidents Day, but then there is this dead period from March to May where there are no holidays. That is the time period that really sucks. Last year, it was nice because I got to make the most of my maternity leave during that period. I only missed getting paid one holiday for Memorial Day. I'll have to remember that for any future pregnancies.

This period of time is usually very sad. It's the end of the holidays. You have to take down all the decorations and go back to the normalcy of everyday life. At least this year, we have Show and Derek's wedding to look forward to at the end of this week. One more party before the doldrums set back in. Also, Michelle and Mike are about to have their little girl, so that's something else to look forward to. Then, we need to start thinking about Lukas's first birthday. I guess there are plenty of things to keep us busy at least for the next few weeks. All good and happy things, so maybe it's not so sad after all.
