This is rough

Today is my first day back at work and it sucks. I cried the entire way to work.

I suppose if I can make it through today that I will be good.

    I'm in the same boat on Monday. I've just been holding LO all day and cherishing this time. Hang in there! Just think what a big smile you'll get when the day is over and you see your LO again.

    it does suck, big time. My first day back was Tuesday. I just remind myself of all the working parents out there-you aren't alone. Everyone keeps telling me it gets better....so far it still sucks.

    It is really hard at first, but it does get easier. Just keep thinking that you are doing what you have to do to provide a good life for your LO. Hugs...

    I wouldn't let myself cry this week b/c I wanted to enjoy my time with her. I couldn't hold it anymore Wed afternoon when I found out my sub would not be here today. She was supposed to stay so I could have a crutch, but she could not. I lost it. Luckily my students are happy to see me.

    My first day back was rough.  I missed AJ so much.  Just think of how excited your LO will be to hear your voice/see your face when you get home!

    Yeah the first day is hard BUT it gets so much better!  I cried the first day or two, but now dropping DD at daycare is just part of our routine.  Checking on her once or twice helped get me through the first few weeks.  (((hugs)))

    It's really hard to return to work. However, it makes the end of the work day (and especially the work week) become one of my favorite times. It gets easier but yes it is very hard. How far is LO from your work place? I feed LO on my lunch breaks as her babysitter is five minutes away.

    Today she is at our house with MIL, about 15mins. I am a teacher so I can't run home. 

    On normal Thursdays and Fridays I will be able to go at lunch and feed her b/c she will be 5 mins away.

    Yes it is very rough! Monday was my 1st day back and I didn't even put mascara on because I knew I would cry and have black streaks down my face!  I don't want to say it get's any easier dropping DD off, but I am doing fine because I know I am doing the best thing for her by going back to work! We are able to give her the things that she is going to want, not just need!  I love it though when I go and pick her up at my sister's and when I walk in and she hears my voice she starts to smile! It melts my heart!

    Thanks for the support ladies.

    DH and I work together so he has been coming in and checking with me. He just brought me some flowers and a framed pic of DD. Good tears this time.
