back to work

Going back to work was hard. No one was ready for it- except my boss who said he was marking the days on his calendar. I plan to work from home one day a week for the first few months, but this doesn't work all that well. The transition is really hard on all of us, even with Mary and Sackett still here. No one is sleeping well, I am worried about money, Liz has a client that wants her to work, the babies are transitioning from sleeping during the day to sleeping more at night- everything is in this half focused light of not quite day and not quite night. Stormy and Rocko need so much attention non-stop. Nurse, change diaper, rock, sleep. I go from thinking: "if I could just get one solid hour of sleep" to "just 20 minutes"
to "five minutes, please, just five minutes" I don't know what we will do when Mary and Sackett leave. They are doing all the shopping, cooking, cleaning. We have a freezer full of food, but I have trouble imagining how we will even find the time to pull something out and heat it up.
