The first day I was pretty nervous, but the second time I loved it. It also made me a much better mum, because I wasn't trying to multi task and made me a more well rounded person rather than only a mummy. I know that sounds weird and I think mums are really important but our kids don't stay home for ever at one point or another they stop needing us quite so much so it's important to maintain a part of us that can cope without kids needing us.
Day 1 I cried more than my kids....day 5 I was racing to get them to the Centre and they hated me returning for them.... Relax mum....you are going to have some *me time* and you're going to learn to love it. Take some time to pamper yourself that ONE day is nothing ... wait until you get two or three days of dancing around the living room with your favorite music. They will be making friends and learning ... you will be less stressed and will have good energy when you pick them up. Kids have no sense of time...and realize it may take them time to adjust... but that is what growing up is all about. Sending you hugs .. please keep us posted.
Why don't you get a job that will keep you occupied
