On the one hand, you are kind of looking forward to getting back into your old routine, but on the other, at least for me, I felt like I really didn’t want to go back - even though I knew in my heart that I’d be fine once I got there...and even if I didn’t want to, I had to because we were not in a position to be a one income family from a financial standpoint. I tried to beg and barter with my husband to find a way to make it work but it was a no go.

Why was I feeling this way?
