I'm waiting...
But honestly, calling it a TWO WEEK wait? A bit misleading, don't you think? Chances are, if you've been in the game long enough to use the phrase... then you've been in the game a lot longer than two weeks.
And with this month being our 3 year inferversary, my best guesstimate is that we are currently in our 156 week wait. If that sounds like a long wait, it's because it has been a long wait. Too long. Much too long. WE ARE SO READY FOR SOME POSITIVE NEWS!
In order the curb the nail biting, we spent the past week with all of our favorites...
And now for the upcoming week???
MUCH, MUCH, MUCH further down on the fun-o-meter... I return to work.
After a two month hiatus studying for the bar exam, followed by a two week trip to India, followed by an amazing week of R & R as illustrated above... the time has finally come.
And don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be returning to a fantastic firm and to of course, be getting paid again, it's just that I've applied SO MANY times for one of those stay-at-home-mom positions, and for some reason, I always get rejected.
Ah well, cheers to some resume-boosting news this week; in the meantime... I'll be waiting.

Waiting seriously sucks and it's even worse when you keep getting denied. Congrats on your return to work and I hope your wait on parenthood doesn't last much longer.
