A Year from Now I'll be Ready
Today Liam and I went on an adventure to Langara College to sign him up for daycare for a year from now. 'Cause that's how prepared you have to be to be a parent. You have to know a year in advance what you might be doing so that you can get on a waitlist and HOPEFULLY get decent childcare. And, you get to pay $800 a freakin' month for it too. Luckily I will be able to get a student loan so that we can afford my going back to school.
And then I wonder if I'll be ready mentally to leave this little monster. Right now I couldn't imagine being away from him for 8 hours a days 5 days a week. Well, let's be honest, on a bad day I can definitely imagine being without him for that long :) but the reality of it is that I couldn't do it. Not only would I miss him terribly, but my guilt would certainly kill me and I would have all sorts of worst case scenarios playing in my head of what would happen to him without me there. Let's hope that is not the reaction I have a year from now when I drop him off at daycare.
