Slip, Fall, Get Back Up!

Thanks for all the friendly posts! I did have a slip yesterday. I was at work from 8 am to 8 pm (in meetings) and got home about 9 PM, starving. Wolfed down two slices of pizza (hubby and the kids ordered it for dinner with me gone) and then felt awful. I guess it could have been worse - like 4 slices, LOL.

I'm having serious imposter syndrome issues at work. My boss is leaving for maternity leave and I'm taking her job for the mat leave. A much higher classification and pay level and a lot more responsibility. She usually micro-manages so dealing with being on my own for the first time and she is drawing attention to my flaws in the final days. Friday is her last day. Trying not to eat my way through the stress and keep some balance. My schedule so far this week has been 9 hour days without breaks and yesterday a 12 hour day without break. Funny thing is that I told the Director I wouldn't work those kind of hours with two little kids ... will have to keep an eye on it.

Going to read how everyone else is doing now.

That is so hard to work so many hours, not fun and missing the little ones. I hope you can find a balance with the new position.
