Tomorrow, the twins will attend their first day of daycare. I feel like I should be terrified, guilt-stricken, anguished -- and maybe I will be by about 8:30 tomorrow morning. For now, other than a touch of anxiety, I feel fine. I know they'll be in good hands, because I researched our daycare provider thoroughly. I know they're smart, resilient, talented girls who make friends easily and look out for each other. I still know firmly and without a doubt that no one can care for them as well as Airan and I can, but that doesn't mean that can't go out into the world without us and still be perfectly safe and adequately cared for. And just to prove to myself how necessary this is, I already have appointments at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, and 1:15 pm tomorrow. See how busy I am?? See how much I need to have my kids in daycare a few days a week??
So it'll all be fine. Just fine.

It will be fine. :)
They will be fine. You may not be fine, but you will be fine eventually. Good luck!
So quit making excuses already.
There's nothing to excuse.
This will be good for your family, and you've handled it very responsibility.
Yes . . . I can read the guilt between the lines. You're doing a great job, and this is a positive step for all of you.
Wow, Kel! That's a big step! I'm sure it'll suck at first, but then think of how much more time you'll have for getting manicures, going shopping, and lunching with the girls. Priorities!!!
Congratulations. They will have fun.
I guess I shouldn't mention that I checked the time on my cell phone 900 times today because I was so worried about my kids walking one block from school to Grandma's house without me. I even called at 4:10 to make sure they made it there. I'm a wreck.
I'm sure the girls will have a great time and it will be old hat soon enough to run off to "playcare." You are a brave girl.
We've never even had a babysitter that wasn't a family member.
