Holy shit.Work is just - INSANE.I feel like if anyone who works in a big firm reads this, they will just laugh at me:Oh my god! I billed 67 hours this past week!Yeah, it felt like a lot. I’ve admitted to the fact that I’ve been spoiled up until now.Work and kids were hugely intertwined over the weekend; but I got a lot done.It’s been crazy but good.I know my weaknesses – they haven’t changed.I need to slow the fuck down. I need to double check myself.I need to take less on.It’s hard, though. Especially as a beginner. Us newbies had a hard time getting a full plate. I kept getting assignments with the promise that it would be “oh-so-busy” and instead, the matter was stayed for one reason or another. So I’d ask for another. And that one would be stayed.So I ended up with a list of 6 or 7 cases that I was on.On about Christmas time, all stays were lifted.I’m now the world’s most busy-est woman. [oh, i guess i know that's not true.]I don’t really mind.I just wish my husband was home.I miss his adorable face, and his apple-cheeks, and his overall presence.

A Bit About Zuska
I'm in my mid-thirties, and just embarked on a new career. I graduated from school (the launching off point) a few months ago, and am in the early stages of my first job. At the same time, and of course more importantly, I'm a mom to two fantastic daughters. My husband is the world's most supportive person, whose creativity and flair with food (and grocery shopping) keep our house operating (relatively) smoothly. We hang out in New England. - Key Terms:
My Husband: Beloved
Older Daughter: *E*
Younger Daughter: *J*
Me: Zuska - Feel free to e-mail me:

Holy hell — you billed 67 hours with Beloved gone? Wow. (Thinking Wayne’s World “I’m not worthy.”)
No, he left the morning of the last day of that week.
But it only was ONE night late at the office. The rest was done early in the morning and at home in the evenings.
