This morning I packed up extra clothes, pulled some frozen milk out of the freezer and brought my baby girl to daycare. It’s noon and I’m still crying. I know that she is in good hands but leaving her was heartbreaking. I’ve been through this before and I know that it will get easier but today it feels unbearable.
Maybe it’s the rain. Maybe it’s the fact that everywhere I look I am reminded of her. Maybe it’s that I’m not ready for this.
I bought myself some tulips as a reminder that spring is coming and things will get easier. I thought they would cheer me up. But they’re not working.

Just think of how happy you’ll be when you can get back and smell her sweet little baby head!
Ok. So this made me cry. Clearly I am over-emotional. Want to move to Europe with me where we can stay home with our babies for glorious amounts of time?! Being a working mommy is HARD!
Are you sick?!? You finally get a chance to take a nap and relax by yourself (or do massive amounts of work like you always do when you have “free” time) and you are crying? The flowers were also a bad choice. You should have treated yourself to a pile of candy and a fun movie to celebrate.
Young grasshopper, you have much to learn, but lucky for you you have me to offer guidance.
