working mama no more?

the plan was never to put grayson in daycare. for one, it's way too expensive. i would pretty much be working to pay the daycare bill and that just didn't make sense. 


another reason was he spends most of his day in my arms and if he cries i pick him up, always. i know some parents probably don't agree with doing that but to each his own. this is what works for us. i know that one adult caring for 3-4 babies is not able to do that. so no daycare. (not that i have anything against it, for a lot of people it's a great option- or their only option). 


that being said, being a designer i have a bit of flexibility. the plan was to freelance or hook up with a company where i could go into an office just a couple times a week. i love being home with grayson but getting out of the house and being with adults is needed to keep my sanity. 


so i gave my company my two weeks because part time is not something they'd ever offer. apparently i was wrong though. they just had a huge baby boom in the office over the summer and advertising does not lend itself well to family life. i suppose rather then loose a large group of designers they bent their rules a bit. they offered me part time. which is awesome because i can stay with the same company i've been with but not be in the office five days a week.


so far i've only gone one week of this new schedule. it's been pretty easy to pick up where i left off. i'm still working on the same clients. and although i did work an 11 hour day on friday it seems like it will work out. being home with g man is beyond thrilling. i love it. 


horray for working part time. boo for how tight things will be due to salary cuts. it's so worth it though. 


anything for this face.
