Well, I finally found a job that would accommodate the hubs and I both working and child care for the Minion. Unfortunately, the child care is my job and I'm in different rooms than my daughter; which as you can imagine for a child that has rarely had to be separated from me it is the pits. The first day was an unmitigated disaster. She cried. I cried. It was unpleasant. Today was the second day, and honestly it wasn't as bad as the first. She still doesn't appreciate me not being with her 24/7 but she did play with the other kids and participate a little.
To be honest, I was surprised at how hard it was for me to just be in the next room with her screaming. I honestly thought I'd be fine since I was there too and could see her. NOPE! I bawled like a baby as well, as my "baby". Nothing more embarrassing than trying to be professional while crying uncontrollably. Thankful, that she seems to be getting used to being there, though it may be a long while before she's looking forward to it.

It'll get better. Its probably harder because you're in the same location, but the minion will adjust, as will you :)
