Thanks for the tips, i�ve been on maternity leave for two years,so it will take some getting used to and adjusting when i return. I�ve had the first appt. with my boss to talk over when and how many hours a week i can work again, thank goodness for me where i work they are very flexible, other wise i would be very unsure of the new start. But i�m sure i�ll do fine ( i hope). The hardest part will be not having my child around me 24-7 to get used to, but i�m glad to be getting back to see and do something different for a change, not just playing all day long, even though i enjoyed it, i�m ready. Wish me luck.

That's really helpful for me, Dianne. Though I've decided not to join in my job, my employer wants me to join in her school if it is for three hours or, two. That's why I'm thinking to join again, after a year.

@ flower70: Wish everything will be easier for you and your baby.

Hey Flower! That's wonderful that you were able to spend 2 years at home. That would definitely make it hard for me to return. I don't think of it as playing all day long, I think of it as taking the time to raise the kids - nothing wrong with that!
Best of luck to you!!!

I found it enjoying to be able to spend this quality time with my daughter, see all the first things like walking,tooth,words,ect.nothing nicer than that. Thank you all, i�ll keep ya posted how it turns out, the restart.
