Leavin' Sleepin' Baby Early in the Mornin'

Just a quick vent: I really hate waking up my sleeping baby in order to get him ready to go to the baby-sitter just because we have to go to work. I appreciate my maternity leave (although I think the U.S. is waaay behind other countries in terms of what we could/should provide...Germany provides 12 paid months of PATERNITY leave), and I like my job quite a bit (notice I didn't say "love" my job), but geesh! I wanna be home with my cute little guy who is changing every day and is so much fun to be around! I keep trying to figure out how to teach full-time online! :-)
