Yesterday was a really long day in court. We started at 9 am and I finished after 6 pm - close to 6:30 pm. Some of my co-workers were there any longer. It is hard when we are in court that long because that means I don't get as much time with my little guy once I get home. I miss my little guy a lot during the day. Sometimes I see babies in court and I always think of my little one. I am glad that I work only 10 minutes away now. I used to work 40 miles away and it took much longer in commute time. It is very tough being a mother and having a full time job. I am often envious of my husband who works full time from home. Our little guy stays at home with his Daddy and there is a nanny that comes in for a few hours each day. So my husband gets to see him a lot during the day. I love my job, I love being a lawyer, but it is difficult being a mother and a lawyer. I am very proud of my own mother - that she was able to be so successful in her job and be a mother at the same time. I am proud of the fact that she was three college degrees, all obtained while working full time and being a mother. I can't say that I always felt that way going up, but I am very proud of her now. I can only hope that one day my son will be proud of the work that I do. It will all be worth it then. It's time to sign off for now. See ya!

I am glad you work closer to home and can even go home for lunch sometimes. I know it isn't easy being away from Riley so much but I am glad he doesn't have to stay with strangers during the day.
Thank you for all the kind comments about me. I did try really hard to balance things when you were growing up but I know I often failed. Your kind words mean a lot!
