daycare

Dear Byrd,
I start back at work in December, I feel good about this, I dont want us to sit at home watching each other all day. I like working, I like using my brain and heart and time in different ways. I was asking a lactation consultant about weaning at a year or earlier and had to pinch myself to keep from crying. So I guess I have mixed emotions.
We sent a form into the University daycare a couple of months ago. I called to see what the waiting list looks like and they said, "It looks like we just received your form a couple months ago, the wait is at least one to two years, even three sometimes." We only knew we had jobs here a couple of months ago. How will we find you daycare from a distance? I feel a little defeated. I had fantasies about walking across campus to have lunch with you.
Love,
Mom
