Is it bad to admit I am ready to go back to work?

This summer has been fun. We took a few trips, went to some fun places--but I am ready to start this school year.

Recovering from my knee surgery has been harder than I thought. My knee is still really swollen--and my physical therapist has really been on my case to take it easy.  Well, it's really hard to take it easy when you have a ten month old. I love Kedzie to pieces but she is into everything.

Yesterday, I brought her to work for an hour and she was into (literally) my desk. She had opened my hot cocoa drawer and I noticed she was drooling a lot more than usual. She was also fussing a bit. I finally pried her mouth open and realized there was a thumbtack in her mouth! I checked her over and things seemed fine--no blood/puncture wounds, but it was scary. Of course when I mentioned it to my hubby he freaked out on me.

Then this morning as I was getting ready, I saw she had spit up. Then, she started to get sick. Dry heaving and everything.. It looked like white chunks and I realized she had gotten ahold of a sliver of Dove soap. Granted, her mouth smells clean and after doing some googling I think she will be fine...and I don't think she will have bubbles in her diaper tomorrow....but seriously. Not sure if I will mention this incident to hubby.

I think she will be safer at my parents house. It's not that I don't pay attention to her, she is so darn fast. I haven't started running in physical therapy yet.

And then I feel guilty. Aren't moms supposed to feel sad about going back to work? I know a few of my coworkers have been posting on Facebook about how sad they are about going back to work.

I just want to keep my daughter safe.
