If you've been avoiding calling me because you feared that I had suffered a complete nervous breakdown due to my return work then you can stop. I'm ok.
My first two days back were fairly uneventful. I didn't cry and I didn't poke a stir straw in anyone's eye. I'm picking up fairly quickly and don't completely feel like a fish out of water.
Being away from Dax is agonizing. I ache for him during the day. But I know that I can look forward to seeing him flash a big grin when I walk in the door and to snuggling up with him at the end of the day.
On my way home tonight I stopped by the daycare to drop off diapers and sheets and wipes. I met one of Dax's teachers and she looks like Jackie from That 70's Show. She very obviously loves her job. I got to see his crib, his cubby, his dresser, his space in the 'fridge and in the cupboard. She showed me the binder in which she will keep track of what he eats, when he pees, when he poops, and what he did during the day. I met one of the other moms who told me that he daughter has been going to KinderCare for a month and that she LOVES it. In fact, all the babies looked quite happy. I have a very good feeling about this place.
