Daycare Update

After freaking out about schlepping back off to work, I decided to take some deep breaths and see what I could do to fix the problem. I immediately packed up Wyatt, went to Mom's shop so that she could talk me off the edge, and started brainstorming. Here is the new plan:

Rebecca is finishing her temp job on April 24th. She has a subletter for her apartment for the summer and was planning on moving home temporarily to figure out her next step. She doesn't have a job lined up quite yet. I am sure you can see where this is going. I called work back and struck up a deal with them for my first day back to be on April 28th. Rebecca is going to be my nanny and I am going to pay her what I would have been paying for daycare!!!

I can't even begin to express how relieved, happy, and generally overjoyed I am with this new plan. Rebecca is amazing with Wyatt. She is immeasurably helpful and I totally trust her completely. She has made this whole single mom scenario seem very easy. There is no one I would rather have watching my child. She is as close to me as you can get. I feel much better about going back to work, although still unmotivated, but at least contented to know that he is in the best hands. Plus, I don't have to feel embarrassed about calling twelve times a day which we all know I will. But knowing Rebecca she will have picture messages updating me hourly. Finally, I feel like I can breathe a little bit.
