Need some encouragement from Mom's who understand :(
First of all I am really lucky to have Evie's daycare here in my building (She's on the 1st floor and I'm on the 4th) the upside is most days I can use my lunch break to go down and nurse her, instead of pump. The downside is that when she's having an off day (like today) I have to leave her there upset and go back to work, where if she weren't so close I would have no idea until it was time to pick her up and then I could soothe her. It so hard for me to concentrate now at work because I know she was upset and crying when I left. I know it's just comes with working and day care but was hoping you ladies could share some of your tricks to get through those bad days 
Thanks.

Evie is soooo cute. I would have a hard time leaving her too!!
I don't think it is ever easy. I go and look at my blog or play my little videos on you tube when I am really missing him.
Aww that's always hard to leave your baby, especially when she's upset!
What made it a little better for me is knowing that she wouldn't cry long after I left. Sometimes she'd stop before I left the building, sometimes she took longer, but whoever took care of her let me know that she almost always calmed down within a few minutes.
And I babysat another girl DD's age for a little while who cried almost every time her mom left for the first several times, but within 10 minutes she'd be fine and we'd have a great time the rest of the day. And it got better as she got more used to me/the house/the new routine.
Hang in there! Know that even if she's mad at the moment, she won't remember it, and won't hold it against you for leaving!
