I used up all of my PTO for maternity leave earlier this year, so I am working this week! Thankfully I am working remotely and I wrapped up most of my projects, so it's a slow, manageable week.
DS1 is off school this week and slept over my parents. DH also wfh yesterday and today, so we've been watching DS2 together through naps/meeting times/etc.
Are you working? Is it busy? Who is watching your LO(s)?

I'm working, but just yesterday and today. This is the first year I had leftover PTO, so I'm using it for Wednesday and Thursday and we are closed Friday.
I'm busy, but only because I have a lot I want to get done because I'll be out the rest of the week. The phones are quiet and we have no appointments today, though.

I'm working and actually AT work. It stinks! My parents flew up to watch LO while school is closed.

I'm working, at work and it is SO slow and boring! Luckily our daycare is open since DH and I both had to work this week.

I'm working and it's slow. My MIL has our girls since our care is closed. They stayed the night on Sunday & Monday nights due to the "huge storm" that was supposed to come and it resulted in maybe an inch of snow 
So I'm excited to pick them up tonight even if they go back again tomorrow.

I'm working. We are super busy internally with a project we need to wrap up by the end of the year, but most of our clients are off so I haven't gotten distracted with emails/phone calls. It's been productive!

Yup! It's slow-ish, or maybe I just don't have any motivation?!

I am not! I have been off since the 18th and will return on Jan 4th.

I'm working, because like you, I used up all my leave while out on maternity leave.
Sadly, I'm actually at the office today and it is REALLY slow. Everyone is out on "use-or-lose" leave.

@ValentineMommy: ditto. Very quiet and few people here. I may work from home tomorrow. I should be using this time to get caught up or even ahead of things but my motivation is really low. Doesn't help that DS hasn't been sleeping as well the last several days so I am tired!

I'm easing back in from maternity leave and working a bit remotely! Today is my first official day doing some real work. Im back in the office on Monday the 4th, eeeek!!!!

I am because I'm trying to save up my PTO time for when DD is here. Work load/schedule is about the same as usual so not too stressful, thankfully.
Daycare is open so that's where DS is at!

I need more billable hours this year so I'm "working" but it's super slow.
I had one conference call yesterday, one today and one tomorrow.
Daycare is open M-W this week but LO was vomiting so I kept him home. I plonk him in front of the TV when I have a conference call!

Yep, I'll work through Thursday. It's very slow.
