Yesterday, I had my first melt down.  I became really worried that I wouldn’t be able to balance work and motherhood. Would I have the energy to do both?   Granted, this challenge is awhile off, but nonetheless, I hope that I can handle it.

After a good talk with my brother, who always knows how to redirect my energy, I feel much better.  I also talked to an attorney in my office who is a working mother.  She said those thoughts are normal.  With a wonderful husband (which I have), she didn’t see why I couldn’t do it.  After all, she’s doing it.

As I arrived home from work, the storm clouds had gather.  But we were treated to an amazing sunset.  That’s what I have to focus on:  getting through the storm isn’t always easy, but the sunset at the end–priceless.
