Back To Work

Well, we're approaching my first day back to work, which will be Monday. I didn't think the time would go so quickly or that I would not want to go back. Here it is the Saturday before and I'm already dreading it. I took Hayden to daycare for four hours yesterday, just for a trial run. I was fine taking him, but when I returned to pick him up, he was crying. I heard him out the door and my stomach hurt when I heard it. He was fine, but still. It was a big day for him. He came home and was awake, but obviously exhausted and took a nap from 7-8:30, got his bath and in bed for the night by 10. He was tired. We're taking him all day on Monday. Pray for us that it goes well. It's so scary to leave your child with strangers. I hate it. I'm looking forward to getting back to work. I think the routine of it will do us all some good. However, it all goes back to leaving him for 8 plus hours. I can't help but wonder, what was the point of having a kid, if you let strangers raise him? I know this is silly as we're the parents, but honestly, it's just hard. I'm sure the first week back will be overwhelming, so I probably won't post for awhile. I wish you all a happy first week of October. My favorite month! Enjoy fall activities and the cooler weather.
