'Sall good

This is going to be short because mama's tired.

I am almost through my first week of work. The first few days were brutal. Eeeeeeeeearly mornings, late nights, not getting a chance to see my boy, figuring out the new gig, being super tired...it was rough. But I figured if I powered through the first week I'd be okay.

The babysitter is working out great. She's warm and kind and good with H. It sure is hard, though, leaving your kid in someone else's hands, no matter how capable they seem. Also, since I've been home exclusively with him the last several months, it was hard to let go of our days together. Despite all the hard work that comes with being a parent, I absolutely love spending time with H. He is one of my most favorite people in the world and he makes me laugh like you wouldn't believe. So I miss my time with him. But he seems to be taking it all in stride.

Must sleep now.

Sounds like it's all coming along alright. That's good to hear because eventually I'll have to go back to work to. Mind you not for a couple years, but I still think about it now. I hope it's smooth sailing for you for the next few months!

I'm glad it's working out. I can relate to missing your child; my girl is my constant companion during the summer and I miss her when we're apart. It's almost the weekend! Since I went back to work this week, too, I just hope I can remain awake for most of it!

I hope, at this exact moment, that you and H are sharing a nice cold something together. And lots of cuddles and sticky kisses. Mazel tov on making it through this week.

I'm glad its working out. I started work again when S was 12 months old - it was tougher on me than it was on him - he only cried the first 6 times I left him (I shouldn't say I - my dh did the drop offs thankfully) and now he just loves going to his carers house 2 days each week. For me, working became easier as S became older. When he was jsut about to turn two I found it so much easier - I could stay at work for a drink on a friday night knowing that he could go to bed a half hour later without a problem. It was a bit strange though - particularly as my friends were all still at home full time - I felt (and sometimes still do) kind of out of step...
