Everyone I've ever known who's put a kid in daycare has felt the same (no experience of my own to add, but I'm sure I'd be a complete mess -- I'm the freak who keeps calling the dogsitter to check in).
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Heh. I still do this, too.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In just the past hour, I've gone from, "Daycare will be good for her because she'll be around other kids and have teachers who have actual training in early childhood development and such," to, "How can any one person watch 6-7 toddlers at the same time?! My poor little girl!"
Glad to know it's normal.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Glad to know it's normal.
It's really hard to imagine (at first) that you can trust a stranger to keep your kid alive.
And yet they do!

Susan, Congratulations on the job!

{{{vw}}} Feel better.
It was Mom's birthday today, and I didn't have classes because of scheduling weirdness at my school, so we had a nice lunch with margaritas and had a fun day tipsily shopping.

Mostly lurking...
Not!Emily has a friend over for dinner. Toto decided to pee all over the kitchen floor. Nice.

Susan, I sat in the car and cried when I dropped the youngest kid off at daycare the first time. Even though it was the same place that my oldest was at and a known entity - the oldest had been going there for 2 years when we added the youngest and I was really happy with the place, they did a terrific job with babies, toddlers AND pre-schoolers. And yet? Cried my eyes out.

Not much more to say, other than to request some job-ma. I'm going to be switching temp jobs within the firm where I'm working, and into an assignment that is a) in the field I want to be in and b) possibly temp-to-perm.

The status is NOT quo.
The director of the school must have gotten a lot of pissy phone calls from irate parents - she's keeping the school open Friday.
So no babysitting?
