Yesterday I went into work for a few hours to discuss my return. We discussed it and decided I'd leave Alex at home as a bit of a trial run. I've only ever left her for 1/2 an hour or so while I run out to get milk, so I was a little nervous.
Caitlyn: Mama, where are you going?
Me: To work for a little bit.
Caitlyn: Please, I come?
Me: No, sweetheart, I'm sorry, you need to stay here and help Papa take care of Alex.
Caitlyn: But, I will miss you.
Me: I know, but you'll be okay, and you'll have fun with Papa
Caitlyn: But, I will be sad.
Me: I'll be home soon
Caitlyn: But, I will cry!
After I finally left the drama queen, I had a good meeting at work. But, things at home didn't go so smoothly. Alex decided she did not like the fact that I left, refused to take a bottle and yelled for 3 hours in protest. So, it appears we all have a little work to do in the next 6 weeks before I go back to work!

I'm back at work next Monday so I totally feel your pain, plus my kids will be at the dayhome 3 days a week :( Wish they could stay home with Daddy full-time. Oh well, all the best for you guys
Oh no - I feel for you. I don't want to think about going back to work and figuring out childcare, etc.
We definately have to get together before you go back ...

Good luck with your return to work! The boys will probably adjust faster than you will!!
