Shaking
So I just called to schedule a job interview for Monday. I'm teary and shaking a little. Not nervous about the interview at all. Nervous because I'm pretty sure I'll get the job--which is good. However, the thought of putting T into daycare sucks! As someone who has worked in child care for years I am used to telling parents "It's harder on you then it is on them". Now I guess I need someone to tell me that.

Amy, it is harder on you then it is for them. But it is really hard for us, you are allowed to grieve. Break a leg!
Going back to work was really hard for me at first. Being in daycare was hard for Mamush at first, too. However, it gets easier for everyone. A lot easier. I think it's been a positive thing for him, and he really looks forward to seeing his friends at "school" on the weekdays. Not sure if you are planning to do this or not, but we started Mamush in daycare part-time for the first 2 wks, and then worked it up to full-time. I think this transition made it easier for him rather than having him start full-time on the first day/week. If you are planning to work full-time and could do this, it might make the transition easier for you guys, too.
Hang in there! It'll all work out. :)
Day care was awesome for all four of my kids. It is really truly worse on you. They have their moment of drama and then are happily playing while you are still in your car in the parking lot sobbing. The best thing you can do is find a great day care, be confidant in your decision, set a goodbye routine and then stick to it- even if they are carrying on. He will be fine Mama- and so will you (and you can call me to cry- I have been there)
