I can’t believe how fast things are going! My baby girl is starting daycare tomorrow!! Panic attack and mixed emotions…

• because my baby’s growing way too fast (5 months already #proud mom 😍),
• because we switched to a different daycare center where we don’t know anyone yet (they better be good to her #grrrr),
• because this means I’m also starting work again in a week (yikes!),
• because I don’t look forward to the morning and evening rush at home (trying to get all 3 kids and myself ready on time will be a challenge) or on the road (on second thought, having my morning coffee in the car while listening to the radio doesn’t sound so bad #travel mug),
• because I’m afraid my brain won’t wake up from its hibernation (#poor performance review)
• because I’ll miss chatting with other parents at school without having to hurry off to work, forgetting that some people do have to work

I wouldn’t want to be a stay-at-home mom, I just hope I’ll be able to comfortably combine work with 3 little kids. The thought of starting work again makes me a little nervous but I’m also looking forward to seeing my colleagues again (#coffee break) and getting some intellectual stimulation (you don’t usually get to use big words on little children). But if my baby girl cries when I leave her at daycare tomorrow, forget the intellectual stimulation, I’ll just stay home with her until she’s ready to go…#my soft spot 💙
