one week...

I can't believe that is all that I have left as far as my stay-at-home mom days go. :( Work officially starts a week from today and I am starting to freak out. I know that I am so lucky that I have been able to be home this whole past year and still have a job to go back to, but I think in a way that makes it even harder. If I went back to work after six or eight weeks, I would have never really gotten used to the luxury of being home. Buit because now I am so used to being home with her it is going to be like a major shock to my system when I have to go and work a full day. I still have never been away from her for a whole 8-hour day. I know that's a little crazy, but I have some separation anxiety when it comes to leaving her. I think that the transition is gonna be way worse for me than Zoey. :( I am just so glad that we found a daycare center that I love so much. I really think that it is going to be good for her and I know that she is going to love having all the other kids to play with. It will be okay. We will both survive. I just have to keep telling myself that...

Definitely. You WILL be OK, eventually. Make sure to give yourself time to make the transition. I remember feeling like I was supposed to be "OK" and feel back to "normal" after a week or so, but it may take even longer. It did for me, and I was only off for 4.5 months! Make sure to allow yourself to need to transition and just do what you can, when you can and do not have too high of expectation. And always remember that you can come and talk to me whenever since I am right in the same building with you and have gone through it too! :)
