One Month In

I know it has been too long since I posted here, sorry about that, it has been busy! I know that is something people say all the time, but in this case it is true. Here is what is new: I have been watching a little girl, S, from 7:30am-6pm Monday to Friday. S is 11 months old, and keeps me on my toes! She is beautiful, and sweet, but she is 11 months old.....need I say more??!! L is amazing with her when she is home which is really nice to see. The dog is jealous, but L is not. We have been going for walks, playing at the park, swimming, along with running errands (which take much much longer than usual!) Besides that I have painted the inside of the camper trailer (pics to follow soon), planted all of our flowers and vegetable garden, kept up with the yard work and house work, cooked every meal at home, helped a friend pack for a big renovation, shopped with a pregnant friend for the right stroller (and used S as the test pilot!!), cleaned out my closet, sorted through cupboards and closets to prepare for a yard sale happening Canada Day Weekend, been interviewed by another parent about childcare, taken L to doctors for what turned out to be a bladder infection (first meds we have needed in years and I have no benefits), finished up a wedding scrapbook that I was making for my cousin, and the list goes on! I am one month in now and I am really enjoying being home. I love having time to spend with L in the morning before school, not being rushed or missing her all together. I love being able to stay organized at home and keeping on top of routine tasks. I am really enjoying cooking everyday (well some days I don't really want too!), and I love that I am really starting to feel connected to my community. It is amazing how disconnected you are when you don't work in the town you live in. Other news, the hubs B has gotten a job offer, and we are so excited to see what this means for our family. The money isn't as good as what he makes now, but the other perks make up for it. Stay tuned for how that all unfolds! I am heading to bed, L has my alarm set for 7:30am so we can get to the garage sales in the morning before all the good stuff is gone! G'nite!
