A case of the Monday's.....

I have been hit by a bad case of the Monday's.  I have had Monday's off since November 2007, it was part of my "deal" that I had when I went back to work after having Noah. I was told it was temporary but as time went on, no one seemed to mind and my work got done so I figured that was how it would stay. Not so much. At the end of April my supervisor told me I had to go back to working 5 days. I could break it up, work a few long days and a few short days but it needed to be Monday through Friday. Due to the miscarriage and daycare issues I worked Monday's in May but then had them off in June. Last Monday I had off so today officially starts my new Monday work day.

I am sad already.

Monday was Mommy and Noah day. Monday was the day I got to "play" stay at home mom. We played around the house, did laundry, went to Target. Sometimes we even met up with friends. I am sad to admit that when Noah was a newborn stay at home Monday's kinda bummed me out, it was winter and I was lonely and I almost wished I was at work sometimes. Over time however I grew to love Monday's and in the past few months with the warm weather and Noah becoming a toddler, I learned to appreciate Monday even more. 

The good news is I am working half day Monday's for now. Probably 12-6. I know it could be worse and I get to spend the morning with Noah, but it's just not the same thing as staying in our PJ's until noon or playing in the yard before 3pm nap time. I will also lose my beloved 4pm Monday nap time happy hour, although it can always be postponed.

If this is how I feel before going back to work half day on Monday's how the hell am I going to deal with daycare in September???

This letting go stuff is harder than colic!
