Separation anxiety
Tomorrow is officially the last day of my maternity leave. Not sure how 9 months went by so fast- they sure didn't when I was pregnant. Anyhow, I'm dreading this.
Everything I've read tells me that at 8 months, separation anxiety kicks in with the little ones. So far, that hasn't been the case. We left her with my parents on Saturday and she was fine. She was also okay on Friday when I went to school to try to move my classroom. For some reason, this year I'll be on the second floor, which involves packing up and moving everything. I got about 25% moved. The teacher in the room I'm moving into hasn't moved her stuff yet, so there's really no place for my stuff anyhow. I had thought about going in today & tomorrow, then decided to spend the last few days at home with E.
I'm confident that she is going to be well taken care of while I am away. She probably will have a lot of fun and won't even miss me. I've got a rotten attitude about the whole thing & was already kinda pissy with the new teacher that's moving into my room. Oops. I'm sure I'll get over it, but for now, life sucks.

Good luck with this Ms. K. It was great seeing you guys at Rosita's...I wanted to kiss little Miss E but the sore throat said 'stay at the other end of the table'
Re: a new stage with your child - they are hard, I know I'm going to cry on Thurs when my guy starts the KDG.
We have to try and see the good in all these new stages for us and our kids. They will tell us what they need and how to make it better. We just have to listen.
I hated going back to work after being at home with you two. Even now, leaving for work sucks and I miss the crap out of both of you during the day. But when I come home and she's so happy to see me all of that melts away. Hopefully, it's the same for you. I love you, baby.
You too, ed...
I love the 3 of you's Henkel/Kroushl/Legare's!
Almost forgot - Auquamanski!
Sniff, sniff. It's a hard time of year. This is the first year I didn't cry going back to work. Although, the waterworks were flowing after our Kind. conference today. Alex spent the whole conference under the table. Nice. Thinking of you and your cute little family during this transition.
