Anyone else returning to work soon?  How are you feeling about it?

I'm supposed to go back in 12 days.. every time I think about it, I break down and cryyyyy.. 

The last thing I want to do is leave my little babe.. I don't know how I'm going to do this.. I'm going to be an absolute mess.

DH is taking 6 weeks of paternity, so he'll be home with him.. after those 6 weeks, I'll be home again for 5 weeks using my vacation time and such.. it won't be until January 2nd that he goes with my Mom and both DH and I return to work.. 

Even still.. the thought of going back at all is destroying me..

Going back to work sucks but it does get easier.

Ugh, I find myself feeling so resentful towards those who are able to be SAHM's.. which then makes me feel angry with myself for racking up so much college debt!!

DH and I have been talking about the possibility of me switching to part time work.. but, in reality, that's not really an option in my field of work.. 

I just wish I had another option.. I know it'll get easier with time.. but right now, it kills me..

I will spend 3+ hours a day commuting.. and, that's assuming I leave my house before 6am and am able to leave work before 3:30pm.. any shift in the times means more traffic.. 

I can't help but think that's 3 hours extra I could have with DS.. 

Ugh.  These next 12 days are going to be full of dread.. and then, the day I return is going to be SO tough.. 

At least I know there are others who understand and have gone through this, too..

I've been back FT for 3 weeks and PT for 2 months before that. Its an adjustment to be sure, but it really does get easier.
