Back to work today!

I went back to work today after the Christmas break on my reduced hours, so I didn't start until 1! I hated waiting around, it's such a silly time to start work, as there's no time to do anything before hand. I completed a few chores, but I was still ready and waiting for an hour. I hate the thought of everyone being at work and not me, I felt a bit redundant. I've really missed m' little babies all over the holidays and I couldn't wait to see them! I'm really hoping one of the part-timers decide to retire soon so I can have their hours, I hate having such few hours, I know I should be using my time to relax and think of myself, but it's so hard!

It's so hard, JB, but hang in there. Make it known you'd like any spare shifts that are going and then wait. These things have a habit of sorting themselves out again. Honestly. Look for things that could fill your mornings if time is hanging heavy - an exercise class? volunteering somewhere? Just some thoughts but mainly use the time to relax. Your hours will come back to you soon enough. X
