Whew...these last few months have been a whirlwind. Decisions, decisions.....
Here is what is new....
In June our babysitter told us they could no longer watch the kiddos. I am not going to lie, I was devastated at first. We wrangled a temporary sitter while we made some hard decisions. To work, or not to work. Daycare, or no daycare. Back to school, or not back to school. I kind of felt like the summer passed us by while we lived in limbo land. Truth be told if we hadn't lost our sitter we would not have made any of the changes that we did. What did we do??
Well, for starters I only work Fridays and Saturdays. I gave up my old position to work as a teller so I can be home with the kiddos. That was rough, still is a bit. I like where I work, but I didn't think it would be as big a transition. But it is, and while I don't love it, I like it enough, and hopefully in time I will actually love it. The hard part is that I feel I am a people person, and it is really hard to connect with people when you are stuck behind bullet resistant glass. :) But, it will get better, and better. In fact, the second week was already better than the first.
Wow, another big change is that Eva started school this year! She is growing up so fast. I can't believe she will already be 4 years old. It seems like just yesterday that I was 60lbs heavier :) I feel so blessed to be able to be home with them. My checkbook has definitely seen better days, but I can say the kids are worth it.
Not only has Eva started school, but I did as well. Once we made the decision for me to stay home (well, mostly stay home) it gave me the kick in the rear to stop actually talking about it, and do it. I like it. I won't say I love it because it stresses me out too much. Finding the time to study is HARD. I need near PERFECT conditions to study well. The house needs to be clean, the kids need to be quiet, and I need to have more that 60 minutes otherwise I just look at the clock the whole time and I never actually get into it.
While there have been many changes, and I have very little time, I hope to still keep up with blogging. I feel bad that I gave it up for three months!
