I've been home a week now without being employed. To keep things normal, the girls are still in daycare, for at least the time being. I'm trying to keep the routine planted in the brains of the girls, and there has been no talk to them about me not working.
This morning, I dropped the girls off just like normal. And for some reason, Bea didn't want me to go. There were tears in her eyes. Being in the position I'm in, I gladly would have had her stay home with me, but unfortunately I had a few things going on today. Then, she says, "Mommy, you have to go to work today?" I mean, what do I say to that? My response to her was "Yes." Looking for a job is work, unfortunately. And so is networking. But, dang, I felt so guilty....and even more so when she started crying. A Bea and mommy alone day is coming, that's for sure, and I promise that. This is coming from a girl who would always tell me "you have to go to work, mommy, because I have to go to daycare." Ah, I love her so much. And I do wonder if she knows our temporary situation.

It is so hard when your kids want to stay with you. I've wanted to call in sick before when Lucas didn't want to leave mommy.
Kids are perceptive...

Yep that sure tugs at the heartstrings. She doesn't it know it but you're doing really important things right now, finding a new job is pretty important. What a sweetie though.
