Going back to work...

Frustrating...

Evelyn is going to be three months on March 19th, and I'm already starting to think about going back to work.  I really didn't think I'd have a hard time going back to work - I really like my job and get a lot out of it.  But the idea of leaving her is really upsetting!

You'll probably laugh at me, but I finally called some daycare centers yesterday and the wait to get in is two and a half years!  I could have put my name on a list the minute I found out I was pregnant and it wouldn't have made a difference!  What the hell!!!  Now I have to start looking into either private daycare or having someone come into my home.  Oh my god!!!  What do I ask someone with whom I'm trusting my child's life?  

This is the problem.  I am scheduled to go back to work in January 2009.  Ideally, I would like to take the rest of next year off, only returning to work in September 2009.  This would make Evelyn 19 months old when she went off to daycare which sits a little better with me.  She'll be talking a little and could potentially be potty trained.  I'm not sure we can swing this financially and that's what's getting to me.  I need to find a way...

How can I leave this face???
