Gearing up for work

Great night last night...Will slept like an angel! He was up once for Dad at 1:30 then slept on through till 6 am. Now if only Mom could sleep too.
I started thinking about going back to work as I was staring at the ceiling last night...my work assignment has just been given to me for the September school year and I couldn't be more pleased. Then the guilt wave came crashing over me! How can I be so excited about going back to work when I know going back to work means leaving my little man in someone elses care. I can barely leave him for the length of a feature film let alone an 8 hour day! Now I know we have a fantastic daycare provider and both Grandmothers are a phone call away if there is an issue but it is still the scary thing ever - it's like I am asking someone else to raise my baby!

Now staying home is NOT an option and honestly I don't think I could do give up a job I love. Maybe this would be easier if Will was a terror instead of an angel. Part of me thinks it would have been easier to go back to work after 6 weeks instead of a year...I remember really needing a break at 6 weeks lol. Is it possible that I am the only mom out there that is looking forward to going back to work??

I wonder if my principal would let me teach with a Bjorn and a one-year-old strapped to me??
