Somebody stole the sharp, bright, on-the-ball Janice and replaced her with a clone that looks like her, but lacks her brain power. The new clone is pardon, the pun, a dumb blonde. She’s been making silly logic mistakes at work. Things that were once automatic now take hours for her to complete. Instructions left for Janice that say DO NOT, will be done. IE: DO NOT MAIL, gets mailed out…. Thankfully the clone has an awesome co-worker who realizes that this is not the REAL Janice and is looking out for her, ready to catch her errors. Thanks D!
I don’t know what’s happened to me. Is it mommy-brain? Is it lack of sleep? Is it information over-load? Is it the pressure I feel to do a stellar job at work because I’m now out of the holding pattern and ready to advance my career? My garden is bursting into life yet I’m wasting time chasing cars. Gah! I hope whomever stole Janice returns her soon before this clone royally effs things up!
In my defense, I’ve found that a lot of my old processes have changed. I’ll do things the way I’ve always done them, only to find out later that the process has changed and then have to re-do it, the "new" way. This is why I feel like I’m wasting time chasing cars, and that my mind is in information overload. My family has now adapted to me being back to work, and now it’s time for my brain to catch up. I’m not sure how much longer work will accpet the "I’m getting reacquainted" excuse, ’cause even I’m getting tired of it. Hurry up old Janice and come back! We’re all waiting for you!

aww hang in there. You will get your pace back, just relax and take it one step at a time
Hey, at least your family is used to you being back. That’s a heck of a lot. Give yourself a break – you’ll get used to it all soon, I’m sure.
much more than a moms last blog post..Notes On The Chalkboard*

It will take you a while to re-focus on what you are doing. You have much more on your mind all the time now than you used to have while you were working. Now instead of focusing on just your job and your hubby, you have your 2 babies at home. Get into the frame of mind that they are being very well taken care of (not quite as good as you do, but still well taken care of), they will be fine. Just take some time and think before you act.
Take care!
Wow, you’ve had a lot of changes lately, it’s no wonder! Hang in there, you’ll push through it. Just make sure you get a lot of rest.
