Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be too dramatic. But as most (if not all) readers of this blog know, I am currently pregnant and due in about a month. (!!!) I have already completed my paperwork for my maternity leave, and had to pick an "end" date. Since I am due on a Monday (10/10), I went with Friday, October 7th. And thus the countdown begins...
21 days left of work!!!!!!!!! And while it's definitely exciting to think about staying at home with my little one, it also definitely stresses me out to think about all of the things I need to accomplish during my last 21 days here at work.
And let's be real - when do babies every REALLY come when they're supposed to?! The truth is that Baby Peele could make his/her debut ANY day now, meaning that I am truly living each work day as if it were my last. And let me tell you, I've never been so productive in my life!
I am trying to utilize every minute I can to cross off my To-Do's while also soaking in all of the things I love (and will miss) about Moore during my 3 months away. So the old, sappy adage is definitely proving to define my work life, and it's got me thinking...
I know it's quite the cliche, but what if we truly all attempted to live in this manner? I think that we, as a culture, take so many things for granted, believing that the next day is always promised. But we are smart enough to know that it's not. And I think it's time we start soaking in every minute life gives us, knowing that each of those moments is precious and never guaranteed.
And as for me and my expanding girth? I'll be HOPING to make it to October 7th... But in the meantime, you'd better believe I'll approach each day as if it were my last day as a working non-mama. :)
Don't Forget!
