Ryan just loves to call me his working girl and I went back to work on some Saturdays at Hurdles Jewelry this spring, so he could do just that. I had worked there for many years when I met Ryan and until we moved to Kansas. One of their current employees had a maternity leave that I helped cover for a few months.
It was really fun to have a break from mommy-hood and I actually saw some of my most favorite previous customers. In a perfect world, I would work there two Saturdays a month, but the the other employee is back from her leave and I'm thankful to have Saturdays free for travel. I have another Saturday scheduled in September to look forward to.
The thing that was the most shocking about going back to work was that it wasn't WORK at all compared to what I do on a daily basis. I found myself quickly getting stir crazy and looking for busy work. I also realized I have less patience for adult ignorance than I used to. I have all the patience in the world for my three-year-old, but apparently if you're a less than brilliant adult I will struggle to handle you. :) All in all, it was really fun to be back and the extra money made the travel and gift heavy spring easier on the family budget.
I keep telling you SAHPs have the hardest job. :)
