I've been back to work for about 2 months now, and although it's nice to use my brain again and get out of the house, I end up missing Benjamin terribly! I haven't traveled yet, but I'll be going out on my first trip in a couple weeks. I'm not looking forward to it, but it's part of my job. I'm going to take a million pictures and videos of Ben to put on my laptop and I'm considering getting a video webcam so I can talk to him at night.

Since coming back I've been doing some custom work at home and a lot of training classes in the office. I haven't done much on-site face to face client work, until earlier this week. It was nice to fall back into my old role, the role I had before we had gotten bought out by X-Company and X-Inc. It was like riding a bike. I had done it so much I had no problem falling back into the role. It felt like the good ol' days.

Of course, I'm still reminded of my role as a mom, gazing at my Benjamin screensaver during breaks and counting the seconds until it was time to go home.

Yesterday I was at my client's, and I had stopped by the bathroom before I was ready to go home. I saw something on my shoulder that caught my eye. I investigated further and realized that I had a huge trail of Ben spit up going down my should to my mid-back! I had walked around the whole day without realizing that Benjamin had spit up on my shoulder when I was playing with him that morning!

I knew it was too late to hope that no one noticed, but I cleaned up the baby gunk anyway.

I have to remember to do a spit up check in the mirror before I go to work now!
