This is going to be hard

It is day two of training for work and I already feel like I can't spend any time with Faith. We get up in the morning and are lucky enough to eat breakfast together, get dressed, and talk about what it going on for the day and then we are heading out the door. I just don't know how moms do it. How it is possible for them to be away from their children for such a long time. What gets me through is knowing that this time next year I will be done working and will be home with another little one. I picked Faith up at 5:45 this evening only to drive home, fix some hamburger helper and sit down to talk again. We did play for a little bit but when she goes to bed at 8pm it is hard to spend time together. The time we know we both can count on no matter what is storytime in bed all cuddled together. It is a big change from being with her all day. No more hour storytime in the middle of the afternoon in the closet. No more afternoons in the mud. No more it's Tuesday and raining so let's go get french fries. And no more let's just go to the library by ourselves to read and play all morning followed by a trip to the dollar tree. It leaves Saturdays open for that. I just feel like my time has been taken from me and as much as I know she is going to learn so much this year and be exposed to so much and have so much fun my heart sinks. Why is that?
