I'm officially working for two more days. Thursday and Friday. I'm joining some conference calls early next week just to ensure that everything is transitioned but then that's it for me until September. I'm struggling with this a bit. Not being "needed" and not having a "purpose" for those hours everyday is going to be a challenge for me - I've been making a running list of things that I can do - ways that I can mark the days off with something accomplished until this baby girl makes her appearance.
Today I've got some admin stuff to handle but my day is starting off with meeting with a new health insurance provider to pick up August 1st. Their office is on the 7th floor in downtown White Plains and the elevator is out so they offered to meet me at my very favorite Deli/Diner. I came in early to have some breakfast and I'm sitting behind/next to a table with three priests. These guys are having a good time of it too. Growing up Catholic I'm used to the priests - we regularly had our priests over for dinner and my experiences have only been positive...regardless of my difference in opinion on some of the churches views. These priests are HILARIOUS. They are cracking tons of priest jokes and other jokes too...and I've struggled with keeping my giggles to myself. Too funny. There really is nothing like hearing people laugh in the morning to start your day off well. People don't laugh enough.

You? with a list? No I can't believe it. heehee.
Congrats on joining that land of nothing to do. When I was pregnant with my first I had moved so I didn't try to get a full time job since I was going to stay home anyway. I became a sub teacher. Well, I ended that beginning of June and the Kid didn't come until July 20th! (12 days late!) That was a long long month.
Just kick back and soak in the a/c. Go see a movie or 2. Take lots of naps and nest your little heart out. :)
It's hard to not feel needed as something other than wife and mother for me. (Not that those aren't hard and demanding enough jobs before people jump down my throat). I just personally need more. And it does feel weird when it's gone.
But like you said, work on making Lexi your priority, even before she's here. Rest, read, watch useless TV.
I'm glad you'll be getting a break soon.
girl - relax while you can because before you know it, you will be needed more than you know. :)
i agree, people need to lighten up and laugh more! yes! have a great day!
You must take solace in this time...life is so much easier with that baby inside.
I hope you get to rest a little before Miz Lexi comes. Read a book, or several, if you can. I so miss reading....
Thinking of you, best of luck!
Enjoy your last day of work today :)
And, if my memory serves me properly (which these days it usually doesn't), you have a pedi booked for today too! Enjoy!
