Being a working mother

So far, it's not too bad.  Bearing in mind, I've worked two days! I'm really glad I spent so much time at the daycare last week.  I was really freaked out about the idea of leaving Tabetha with strangers all day, but after last week I don't really feel like they're strangers.  I'm able to focus on work and not worry about Tabby, and I really wasn't sure if that would be the case.  Huge relief.

We've only had one phone call from the daycare so far.  There's a kid in her group who's vegetarian, so when the rest of the kids had some meat in their lunch, he had peanut butter.  And I gather one of the caregivers looked over to see Tabetha leaning wwwaaaay over, stealing peanut butter off his tray!  They don't know if she actually ate any or not, but she doesn't have any known allergies anyway - it's just that peanut butter isn't supposed to be tried until after a year.

She hasn't shown any signs of allergies, so no worries.  I figure if that's the worst call we ever get from daycare, we're laughing!

Today she was still napping when I came to get her.  It was neat going in to the nap room - she was the only one still sleeping - and getting to wake her up.  Then we go home, and have some quiet mommy daughter time before Chris comes home.  It's pretty nice.

Now if only she'd either agree to sleep all night in her room or stop crawling all over us in her sleep, I'd be even happier.
