Returning to Work. 😭 Any Advice?!

The week has arrived. The week that I go back to sitting behind a desk and working a 9-5. I'm very grateful to have a job and benefits, but it's extremely emotional to leave to my precious girl. I never expected it to be difficult and so emotional. It's even harder when you're under valued in the workplace when you give it everything you got. Prayers for a smooth transition, balance, emotional stability, and for new doors to be opened. I'm extremely thankful that I know she will be in good hands everyday, but I surely will miss those big smiles, giggles, conversations, and even those stinky diapers during the day. *tears*

Any advice from mamas that have returned to work? Before I went out on leave I worked hours after coming home from work just to stay updated on paperwork. I'm a clinician for mental health and intellectual disabilities, so it's a lot of paperwork. I love my clients, but not my job. 😭😩
