Being a Working Mom is Starting to Suck

Now that William is older and more interative it is getting difficult for me to be away from him. I get to spend about 30 minutes with him before I head off to work which is always the best! He is so happy in the mornings. I work from 8:30a-5-ish and work has been kicking my ass for a while now. Before William was here, if I really needed to stay at work until 7pm then I would do it. Now, because I only get a few hours with him in the evening, I am usually out of work as close to 5pm as possible. If I am lucky, I get home around 5:30p but generally it's closer to 6pm. God forbid I have something to do after work. Will usually goes to sleep around 9pm but he has started getting really fussy around 8pm lately. TJ and I have mentioned maybe he needs to go to bed earlier. Now I am going to be looking at 2 hrs with him in the evening and that time is also to be shared with trying to clean the house, laundry, cooking dinner then cleaning up, feeding Will his dinner and then his bath. Not much quality time. I am sure every working mom feels this way but it really sucks. It leaves me with not wanting to do anything on the weekend if Will cannot be with me. Maybe this is the reason I have not put him in his room yet. :) I love having him near me every minute I can. He is increasingly interactive and I want to be there to teach him new things and to watch him as he learns.

Maybe it is for the best for both of us. Looks like instead of William, Mommy is having the separation anxiety. :)
