...from around my ears.Why? Why? Why did I do it? The day started off quite well. 'Orientation' to day care went swimmingly and I was feeling pretty breezy about my part-time transition back to work next week.
After leaving the daycare, we ventured over to the office to take care of a few minor tasks there. Easy peasy. Life is a breeze, right? Then one of the medical assistants started snickering about my schedule next week and said I may want to take a look. Why did I do that? OMG!!! for lack of better things to say. I almost dropped over on the floor. I have no less than 50% MORE patients than usual all crammed into an already full day. No less, there was not a break scheduled for me even to pick up Claire. I'll say it again, OMG!!! So much for transitioning back. Instead it seems three days of patients have been simply stuffed into one. I got some rescheduling going because, sorry, I AM leaving long enough to pick up my girl on time. I asked why some of these people simply couldn't see someone else in the group...for pity's sake there are a number of us who can do the job. I suppose I should be flattered because the majority crammed in there don't want to see anyone else and waited for my return. Yes, I should be flattered but right now that isn't exactly the feeling that comes to mind. Instead I am utterly overwhelmed before the day even arrives. Ah well, at least I have the weekend to wrap my head around it. 'Transition back' my arse!
Somehow I suspect there will be a serious drop off in any attention to this blog for a while starting next week. Time will tell how I am able to keep all the plates spinning. For now, I better go find and oil my freaking skates. I'm gonna need 'em!
* I'm going to stick with the positive (or try) and think that catching up with the backlog can only take as many weeks as I was off. Yeah, that'll work ;0)

DEEP breath in...
DEEP breath out...
Follow this mantra until the shoulders reach an acceptable level. :o)
You are one loved gal! You must warm your speculum (Hope that's the right word.) like no other! HaHaHa!!!
I'll be thinking of you when you disappear into the land of 'part-time/full-time' work.
Its going to be a busy...and tough transition. I cannot believe the time has flown by this fast.
Enjoy your long weekend with the Wing!!
Good luck with your transition back to work. Sorry to hear about the jam packed schedule!!! I hope they scheduled you some time to pee !! I will be thinking of you as I too will be "transitioning" back to work
J
UGH! Welcome back to the real world, huh?! That stinks. We'll be thinking of you next week.
oy. popularity sucks - well at work, anyway.
keep your head up. the transition can be rough, but it can also be find (mine was fine), so don't pay too much attention to horror stories...
xxoxoxoxo
Deep breaths...
Totally get that overwhelming feeling...but you always manage to work it out my friend.
Here's to smooth transitions.
When you're the best, you're the one that they all want. Breathe deep, do what's needed for you and CW and here's wishing you all the luck in the world that everything works out smoothly for you.
Remember P*I*P*O. The transition will be hard, but soon you will be in your groove once again (but a totally new groove). The plates in the are are tricky, at first, but you are a talented gal and we all know how quickly you will master whatever you have in front of you.
Like others have said...deep breaths! Your days will FLY by because you'll have so much joy to look forward to when you pick up the wing! You'll be in my thoughts.
One day at a time.. one patient at a time! Gotta love how work seems to forget you have a family to manage as well. My work gets peeved when I can't pick up an extra patient at freaking 5pm because I have to pick Maddy up by 5:45. WTH!
I'll be sending you some good vibes this week for your so called part-time transition back to work.
Deep breath. The transition back to work is rough, I won't sugar coat it, but it is doable and you realize you have a whole new set of priorities. And you'll be surprised how quickly your day will fly! :) You won't have time to think about how crazy busy you are!
Being busy is actually a good thing, because it will keep you concentrating and focused on other things instead of worrying about CW and calling the day care a zillion times that first day.
You can do it, you have done it before. And CW is in good hands.
Now bring those shoulders down slowly and breathe deeply.
Sorry to hear about the crazy schedule. Just get in there and get it knocked out and I know you will take care of it all, becuase you are like that you smart lady you. Thinking about you. :)
hugs,
Jonni
