Sad, puffy, swollen eyes and all, I've made it through my second day of work! Yesterday was absolutely horrible dropping Anthony off at daycare. I'm sure the teachers in that class are used to it, but I was embarrassed to be crying in front of them. It got worse the further I got from his classroom, and I think I sat in the parking lot for about 25 minutes before I could suck it up enough to walk the few blocks to work. Today wasn't AS bad, but it just breaks my heart to leave him. But at least he's doing better than me!
Yesterday he slept the whole time except for an hour to eat. Today they said he did fine, but he came home with a little baggy. That means that he had to be changed into a different outfit. Uh-oh. Last night he started prune juice because the apple wasn't doing it's job anymore to keep his poo flowing (sorry, but that's the way it is!) I gave him a little bit more this morning, and it worked around noon today! The second diaper was the kicker - blowing out onto his onesie and socks! Poor guy, but poor teacher who had to change him, too!
My boss has been great. Yesterday I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my office, saying Welcome Back. Today she gave me a coupon for a chair massage! I think she wants to keep me around for a while. :) I know it will get easier as the days go on. For now I'm just thankful that it's part-time. Coming back to so much work, so many changes, and the emotional distress is leaving me tired! Oh wait, I think the sleepless nights are part of that, too. :)

That totally sucks! I'm sorry you have to go back, but it's so nice that your boss is understanding. And yay for the chair massage!
I can only imagine how hard it's been for you to leave Anthony at daycare. I'm sure it'll get easier. It is great your boss has accomodated a part time schedule. Sounds like she definitely doesn't want to lose you!!
At least it gets a little easier each day and you have a good place to leave Anthony. It is good you have such a good place to work.
So sad! Poor little guy, pooed all over himself, at least he doesn't know better, can't wait to see you again, when is that?
Good question, sis! Wish I knew...
at least you have a nice place to leave him where you feel he's safe, and it will get a little better with some time...but it still isnt fun to leave you child at daycare...
What, no pictures of the sad, puffy eyes? :) Just kidding...I'm glad it's getting easier, I can only imagine how you're feeling with so much work to do, in addition to having to leave the little guy! He's in safe hands, and like you said, at least it's only part time. Love you!
