Tomorrow
Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 1:08PM Tomorrow, I go back to work.
Tomorrow, Nate turns 15 weeks old.
Tomorrow, I have to get up two hours earlier than I have been so that I can start teaching a class that starts a half hour before I've been getting up with Nate. This means he'll be sleeping when I leave.
Tomorrow, I have to either do my makeup in the dark or another room. (Smart vote: another room.)
Tomorrow, I have to remember what it means to be a working person. It's amazing what 15 weeks away from your job can do. It's like my brain is trying to piece together the memory of what it takes to go to work in the morning.
Tomorrow, I have to take my coffee to go.
Tomorrow, I have to pack a lunch.
Tomorrow, the hubby will spend his second full day with Nate ever.
Tomorrow, I have to spend my third full day not with Nate ever.
Tomorrow, I have to decide if I can handle having pictures of Nate on my desk or if they'll make me cry. (My guess is that it's both - I will have to have them there, but they'll make me cry.)
Tomorrow, I'm going to miss watching Charmed reruns, House Hunters, and Income Property.
Tomorrow, I'm going to be happy to have more than 30 seconds to think. I'm going to enjoy being able to complete a full thought and many full sentences with other adults.
Tomorrow, I have to wear something other than sweatpants or jeans.
Tomorrow, I have to go nearly the whole day without calling someone Peanut.
Tomorrow, I have to teach. I have to lead a classroom. I have to supervise the tutoring center again. I have to answer emails.
Tomorrow, I have to hold it together.

Good luck!!
Thinking of you ... what you're about to experience tomorrow is what I fear ... and I'll only have 8 or so weeks off. Thinking good thoughts for you and whatever you're feeling ... it's natural and OK!! ((hug))
Transitions are so hard, especially the leaving your child transitions. Good luck, tomorrow.
You'll do great! You make me feel better saying there are things you're looking forward to...you make me think that I can do this someday... :-)
You can do it! And I will totally fill you in on Income Property. Isn't it AMAZING what that guy does with a basement?
Oh, you're at work now! I hope you're okay! Having adult conversations is probably good. I keep having to look at Sailor in her bouncer, make HUGE EYES and HUGE SMILE and say, "WHA????!!! Oh! Ooohhh, ahhh! YEAH!"
