Nate is still crying every morning, but after 3 months, I can say that he's finally ignoring me when I show up at the end of the day. He's having so much fun now, he doesn't want to leave. And I so get the "no time for guilt" thing. You gotsta get your ass across town, no matter how bummed you are on that drive.<BR/><BR/>I also sing Dora in my head all day and hope I don't mistakenly let a "Come on Vaminos!" slip out during a meeting.<BR/><BR/>It's OK to love your work. You're setting a work ethic example for your daughters, teaching them that motherhood doesn't have to be all-consuming. That some mommies are better mommies when they work. Rock on girl. <BR/><BR/>The real dillema is how to keep up your level of blog reading while at work without someone busting you. When you figure that one out, let me know.scarbie dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067032043776994982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23530950.post-1150481717792491352006-06-16T14:15:00.000-04:002006-06-16T14:15:00.000-04:00Glad you are transitioning nicely back to work.

I think that a happy mommy makes a goos one and you sound like you're pretty happy!!! <BR/><BR/>p.s. It is okay to break out into Dora tunes at will, haven't you seen that ad on Noggin?
