Indulgent

[judecorp]

Tomorrow is Friday and I am not working, yet I am sending Punk to day care. It feels so ridiculously indulgent, even though I'm doing it because our house is a disaster and there is no way I can clean it thoroughly with her in the house, nor can I give her the attention she deserves if I am cleaning.

Besides, my day care is flat rate (I pay for Fridays even if she doesn't go) and they were closed Tuesday for Rosh Hashanah as well... so I am going to get my money's worth! ;)

We're going to pick her up after her nap (2:30) so she's not going for a full day, but I actually feel kind of guilty about it. I really do think she'll have a better day playing with kids than watching me vaccuum and clean floors and stuff, though.

It's going to feel so weird without her here!

don't feel bad about sending her to daycare. My parents owned their own business so while my dad was gone all day doing service calls my mom was working in the shop repairing appliances at our house. She set her own schedule and had no problem watching me at the same time. But she sent me to daycare 3 half days a week so I could learn to interact with other kids. And I loved it.

Oh, she definitely loves going to day care so I'm not sweating about that. It's just that I negotiated this four-day work week in order to send her to less day care and to spend more time with her... and here I am sending her to day care.

However, I am being REALLY productive today and I think that's good for our family also. I think I will do the Friday thing once a month in order to clean house and organize.
