Long days and longer nights

Lately I have been getting up with Emma and hanging around with her during the day. It's pretty fun but separation anxiety coupled with the fact that we now cage her into the living room make for a sad little girl at times. If I walk the few feet from the living room to the kitchen to make her a bottle she starts crying. She can see me as I am standing right in front of her, but she can't get to me. We had to gate off most of the house since she is now able to climb stairs. For now she does ok at nursery and the houses of family members but we will have to see how she reacts if we ever have to leave her with a babysitter who isn't family.
After the Emma shift I pack up and head to work. This isn't to taxing but it does take eight hours. Over nine when you consider breaks and driving. I get home at about 12:30 and hit the Flash most nights. Last night I went til almost 6. Usually it's only 2 or 3 though. Regardless, this seems to make at least 2 or 3 nights a week 12-15 hour shifts. At least one of my projects is almost complete and the second one should get knocked shortly thereafter. At least it's fun stuff and it looks like it may be taking me in a new direction, not to mention career.
It may be a few days til I post again. I am putting together a special post. Sorry to disappoint but it won't be about Emma but rather the blog itself.
