daycare

my first day of daycare outfit:
mom, why are we leaving so early today?
I am just sad. Today is Juliette's first day of daycare. I am sure all moms have their feelings and stories and everything, but it doesn't really make me feel and better (the "i know how you feel" line has never done anything for me, even if you have been through it). I have no problem with the daycare she is at and have known the family for years, but that doesn't make it any better. I have listened to my friends stories about have the person hand the wrong kid to her, crying in a seven eleven parking lot, having to tell your in-laws about how YOU want things done, etc. so I know that it's never an easy road. I thought maybe this would be like another super emotional day where it's so emotional that I don't cry...nope. I started crying last night when I was getting her bottles and milke ready. Cried while I rocked her to sleep. Cried when I woke up. Cried when I fed her this morning. Cried when I put her in the car seat. Cried when I turned on the street to daycare. Cried when I left daycare. Cried when Meghan called (luckily she knew better than to make me talk!). Cried when I got out of my car and then ran into my uncle in the parking lot and had to explain why I was crying. Cried when I walked into my office and saw my mom. Crying as I am writing this...

One hour down.

Ugh.

  1. Oh sweetie. That's heartbreaking. But I wanted to comment on how beautiful your girl is! I love how you post pictures often, I can see her growing up right in front of me and her face has changed so much already! She's gorgeous. : )
