Thanks, Dinah! I really do believe the work conditions at this new place will be *much* better than at my last job. After one year working for the last guy, though, I must admit, I don't really remember what it's like to work in a good environment. I bet I'll be pleasantly surprised.
> But I don't know that anything makes leaving the munchkins easier. :( But I think it's wonderful that you had this time with him, and that you enjoyed it so much. Remember to try to recapture some of that nights and weekends. Little kids don't know better than to love housework, so you can have lots of bonding time when you are home with him even if you've got other stuff to do as well. (Loved that Montessori. My son liked dusting and sweeping as much as building with blocks.)LOL - N loves to sweep and "fold" laundry :).
You know, even on the worst days at my last job, I tried really hard to segregate my work and home lives when N was around. The evenings are for him and my husband. Granted, when things are really bad, my husband gets dumped on after N goes to sleep, but no one can take those precious hours before N's bedtime.
Thanks for the post, Dinah! (Always with the good advice :).)
