Back to Work

I've been looking for a job for the last 6 months or so.  And finally FINALLY I got a great job with great hours.  I will only be working 20 hours a week.  And I have most mornings off, so there is still plenty of time for our weekly play dates with the MG Twins, for driving Punky to preschool two days a week, and of course for spending time with my two favorite kids.  Most of my shifts are 4 hours, but I do have to work alternating Fridays and Saturdays for the full day.  So I don't feel too guilty about leaving Punky and Buddy in daycare all day long.  I feel like this is the perfect way to ease myself back into working.  I am pretty sure this transition is harder on me than it is on Punky and Buddy. 

I just finished my first week of training and things are going well.  There have been no tears at daycare drop-off (myself included) and both Punky and Buddy say they have had fun at daycare.  I suppose there were a few tears from myself on Sunday night after I found out that our original daycare person couldn't take our kids anymore (long story).  But after numerous calls and daycare visits, we found a new daycare that will be great and better than our original.  I think Punky and Buddy will have a lot of fun making new friends at daycare.  And I know I will be happy putting my library degree to use and gaining as much experience as I can.  This is going to be good for all of us!
