answer:Firstly, congratulations. I am really happy for you @Hawaii_Jake. I hope it is a fabulous experience for you. I have had a couple of long(ish) periods of being at home with children and when I did go back to work I remember being a bit tired at first. It was very exciting, but having to be out of the house for long periods, plus trying to look after things at home, was a bit waring at first. So, pace yourself. Don’t be too hard on yourself about stuff that has to be done at home. Perhaps make some meals and freeze them so you can come home and relax. I remember feeling very nervous about wanting to do a great job too. Probably unrealistically hard on myself. So, keep in mind it will take you between three to six (and more likely six) months to really feel at home in your new role. That you know where you fit and how to do the nuts and bolts work (admin etc.).
