Pretty sure tomorrow is going to be hell

I am going back to work tomorrow after being off for 4 1/2 months :-( My principal is already being a beotch and the kids will be crazy after their 4 day weekend.

And Cooper is going to daycare. I need to get all of his things together but I don't want to. I'm ready to cry.

While I need the money because the ex isn't paying child support, I don't want to be away from Cooper.

    I know that feeling! When DS started daycare he went with my mom so I never got upset about leaving... She has since retired and I'm probably gonna be a total basketcase when DD starts in Sept! Waterproof mascara will be your friend!

    Oh, god. I remember DS's first day at daycare. I was a complete disaster and cried all day while worrying myself sick. I called there half a dozen times. It does get much, much easier. I still miss him, but I don't worry about him.

    I was up all night crying the night before DS started daycare. It is so hard. But like pp's have said, it gets much easier, and he will come to enjoy it.

    Good luck with your first day back. That has to be tough! I am dreading going back tomorrow and I've only been off for four DAYS.

    Aww, I'm sorry, the first day at daycare is so tough.  You can do it though!  Call as many times as you need to, to check on him... don't worry about annoying them.  That helped me a lot with Caro's first few weeks.

    How did it go?

    Being back at work stinks...now I don't get to read the Bump during the day.

    I cried my eyes out last night, this morning before I left, in the car on the way to daycare, during drop off and on the way to my school. I was 17 minutes late to school and that's another mess.

    I didn't call to check on him because I was afraid I would start crying at school.

    When I got there he was happy and they said he was good all day. But he only slept for 20 minutes and 45 minutes. I hope tomorrow he sleeps more and I wont cry.

    Thanks for asking.
