Monday is a big day for us. P goes back to work and Graydon starts going to daycare. And Nande doesn't get to have company all day.
None of us are happy about it.
Since I've been back at work for a while now, I'm back into working and catching up on all of the wayward threads. P has been out of work since July. I guess that I'd not realized how much this pending change is going to affect her. Instead of spending all day everyday with our marvelous little boy, she will be working and longing for him, much as I do everyday.
Why couldn't I have just won the friggin' lottery last night? It would really solve alot of our issues.
Inherent in the process of leaving the little guy at a daycare are several processes that put more of a work load on P. I realize and accept the fact that I've got to pull more weight and try to remove as much of her load as possible.
And all I really know is that I smile every time I see my son. I miss him when I'm away from him and have a tiny understanding of the anxiety facing my wife right now. Neither of us wants to miss any of those moments with him because each moment is new for him and he is growing just way too fast. He's close to being able to roll over, he can find his thumb, he can hold toys in his hands, he likes being peek-a-booed and he likes listening to music with reed instruments like saxaphones and clarinets.
Next week is going to suck. I better have a good week at work to offset the tough one we're going to have at home.
