I have been trying to think of a good way to explain how today felt and this is what I came up with
Remember a time when you broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend and it wasn't what you wanted - remember how you can physically feel the pain right in your chest.
Magnify that 10x and that is how I felt when I dropped Skye off at her dayhome. It didn't really help that I could hear her screaming when I closed the door behind me.
I don't think I have ever driven so fast to get somewhere once my work day was over.
Brad thinks it's funny because when I got home with Skye I told him I was keeping her up till midnight. Brad says "you worked for a year to get her to sleep and you go back to work for one day and you want her to stay awake "
What can I say I need my Skye time and 2 1/2 hours after work just doesn't cut it

I know what you mean about driving fast to get back to your baby. Every time Kent and I are coming back from a date. He has to stop me from calling the babysitters and I keep telling him to hurry when he is driving.
No fun! It does get easier though. I worked a day a week after Brighton and the screaming when I would leave was terrible. My mom assured me though as soon as I was out of earshot Brighton settled in about her business of destroying the house and unpacking all the cupboards as if nothing was wrong. (I still raced back too:)
I can relate ... I start back at work on Tuesday, right after the blessing :( I will have Brendan home for some of the day, but I can't imagine having to cut 50-60 hours out of my week in which I used to spend with Skyler! Let me know if it gets any better ...
So how did Skye do? Did the sitter say she was sad the whole time?
