The End of the SAHM Era

Well technically, no, because I will still be staying home until I have found a job. But it does mark the end of 'Exclusive Cael and Mama Days'. My miniature person will start daycare tomorrow albeit just half a day for now. This will go on until I feel comfortable enough to leave him for a whole day. Then it is back to work for me.
I am not concerned about getting a job. It's just a matter of how low will I go.. salary-wise I mean. haha. But that's another blog.
I have mixed feelings about this. Not that I am worried about Cael going to daycare. I am mixed as in part of me is happy to get out of the house, join the workforce again and have some outside interaction with other adults. The other part of me is sad because like the title says, it marks the end of a chapter of my life. I can't say that it has been all wonderful. There have been days when I want to tear my hair out in frustration. But this new chapter means that from this day forward, I will never ever have my baby boy all to myself again. I will no longer be his sole caretaker.
I console myself that there will be vacations, holidays, weekends. Plus I am a much nicer mom when I have been away from my baby for a couple of hours. Plus it will definitely be good for Cael to have a social life. Plus someone else will potty train him instead of me!!!
