I officially returned to work this past week. I say officially because, well, let's face it, I started working a couple weeks before that unofficially. I just couldn't stay away. I think I'm addicted to my job. Or the drama of my job. Or adult conversation with girls. Or all of it. Who knows.
Let's just say while I was gone things just didn't magically "stop" happening. In fact, they got busier. I was lucky enough to have a few co-workers who helped with a lot of my stuff. But the majority of it waited for me. This is actually a CLEANED UP version of my office from this week. My mom would absolutely die if she had to live in my office. There is so much CRAP everywhere.
And yes, you're seeing correctly. There are 3 crock pots sitting in my office. Why? Because I keep forgetting to take them home.
Luckily for me I can rest easy at work because Baby J is either hanging out with my amazing mom or his amazing dad. We are very lucky that Derek works from home so that Baby J doesn't have to go to daycare all day every day. With me only seeing him for an hour and a half at night when I get home (before he goes to bed) I'm so grateful that he gets to spend the day with Derek. He is such the amazing dad.
The one EXTRA awesome thing that happened last week at work is that we had a region retreat. All of the DCFS workers (that could come) came up to our office & we had a bunch of team building exercises (AKA games) and a great lunch. My team also made these SO COOL shirts.
Can I tell you how much I love it?! Seriously! It's hilarious! And for only $5, why not? I bought two. :)
Welcome back to work Jamie.
You are amazing! I'm so glad Baby J can be taken care of by his dad and grandma while you're at work. What a blessing! I can't believe that you own 3 crock pots. Did you keep buying more when your forgot them at work? :) So great that you have a couch in your office. I hope you are taking advantage of it. And I love the shirt. Way funny!
