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!

Yeah, I used to be all MUST MINIMIZE TIME AT CHILDCARE AT ALL COSTS. But now I'm all for using a little time for the exact sorts of reasons you're talking about here. Being organized, clean, etc. helps me be able to have time to actually chill with her a little more when we are together. Also, last week we went out to breakfast after dropping Q off and while that felt a little naughty it was also really really nice.
