separation anxiety

Today was a big day for the Little Man and I... the first day of daycare. It was so hard to drop him off, and yes, I definitely cried, Aidan didn't cry, but I sure did. The feelings of guilt about having someone else take care of my baby is terrible. I think its what every mom must feel at one time or another. But, I have to believe that giving myself this time to finish my masters and get other things done will make me a better mother. Don't get me wrong, this daycare has come highly recommended and I'm sure he's going to be just fine, the kid is very social so I'm sure he's going to love playing with the other babies...but, well, its just hard. Then to add insult to injury, I had to wait almost 20 min for a bus to come I now have take 2 buses to get to class. ughhh.

This weekend was pretty great too, I was actually very productive and got 5 pages done of my thesis yesterday. The weather was STUNNING and I settled in a coffee shop nearby and put on my "paper writing" playlist. I think I've only got about 12 pages of text left to write and while its ambitious, I'm hoping to get my draft done by Friday. That gives me 2 weeks to get it all straightened out and edited etc.

On Saturday evening Mr. F and I went to my school's Beaux Arts Ball at the Mutter Museum. The theme was "Gatsby's Prohibition" and it was great! People went all out with their outfits including some spats on the guys and 1920's flapper dresses on the girls. I will post a few pictures when get them uploaded. You may know the Mutter Museum as the medical oddities museum... or the American Physician's College.
