i drove by my old office on my way home. i started having major flashbacks to pre-baby life. i remembered getting up, showering every morning. wearing makeup and cute clothes and shoes with heels. i remember doing my hair and stopping and starbucks. sitting at a desk, helping children and families. being highly respected for my work. being appreciated and having people request me. i remember lunch breaks, going home early, happy hour with co workers. i remember having sick days and paid vacation. i remember mental health days. and i remember thinking it would be so luxurious and peaceful.

this is not a case of the grass always being greener, it's....just appreciating things that were common place then. and, okay, desperately wishing i was allowed to call in sick, just once, and stay in bed aaaallll day. that's all.
