Today was my first day back at my “day job” since James was born. Even though I actually quite enjoy what I do…it kinda sucked today.

For the last week, I’ve been able to focus on just being a dad and a husband. Being able to spend all day with my boys was great. Watching Michael grow into his role as big brother has been a great experience. But now I have to miss 40 hours of that every week.

I know I’m not the first person that has had to go through this. I imagine all working parents have to deal with this feeling at some point. None the less, it makes me a little sad. Michael was certainly very unhappy to see me go today. My wife was noticeable bummed as well. On the plus side, it seemed like James could care less…so there’s that.

I don’t know what the solution is…or even if there is one, but I just thought I could use this pace to vent a little bit.
