Like a lot of moms, I had mixed emotions about going back to work after my mat leave. I was a little bit sad to be losing my time alone with DD, and a little bit excited to be getting back to the world of adults again. The good news was that DH was beginning two months paternity leave of his own, so at least we didn't have day care to add to the angst.
Even better news is that DH turned out to be a much better stay-at-home parent than I am, so I really did have nothing to worry about.
I wasn't on Twitter at the time, but I was certainly thinking in terms of Facebook statuses (stati?). In fact, I ended up narrating my entire first day of work to myself in that format! So here we go...
Megan:
...is wondering if it hurts to loosen the apron strings.
...thinks DD knows that something is up.
...is wearing a REAL BRA!
...is cleverly disguised as a fully functional human being.
...thinks that her gloves would be more effective if she actually put them on her hands.
...had forgotten how many people there are in the world, and how many of them can fit onto a subway car at rush hour.
...is glad that her office has direct access to the subway.

...has a spiffy new desk with a window. But no computer, phone, boss, or colleagues in the same department.
...is wondering what to do with herself.
...now has a computer, and is proceeding to deal with 665 new emails.
...really hates automatic soap dispensers.
...still loves her new bra!
...still doesn't have a phone, and is thinking of going home early.
