Checking in...

It's quiet on here, and while nothing particularly crazy or important happened in my life, I've had some funny moments.

1. I'm finally starting to feel better. I am so glad I had three snow days in a row, or I don't know that I would feel better at all. I would have taken a sick day, but I sure wouldn't have taken three.

2. I was so sick, that I needed a thermometer, and we didn't have one. So I went and bought a basal, because there was no point in buying a regular one if I am going to need that one in a few months.

3. I never thought I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but after the last couple of days, and my reluctance to want to go back to work today, I think I do. I think the job would have to be really awesome for me to want to work now. I feel so lazy saying that, but...

Your 2nd one made me chuckle. It's a good point. And as for staying home, it's not lazy to think that. I loved my job and had awesome benefits but the pay just wasn't there. I would have spent my paychecks in daycare and gas money. As much as I wanted to stay home and have loved it, if I had made more, I wouldnhave gone back to work. I probably would have taken a 6 month leave first.

But that said, even if you make a lot, if you want to be home with your baby, you should.

1. I'm excited and sad Lily will be 2 this coming Sunday. It's going by so quickly.

2. My mom and sister are coming but will be here for less than 48 hours.

3. Lily has her eye doctor checkup on the 19th. I'm not looking forward to it. It will be long. And I've heard she might not adjust well if they change her prescription. She finally leaves her glasses alone after months of pulling them off. She even asks for them when she wakes up.

I can't believe lily is going to be 2 and I think she is cute as can be in her glasses.

1. On the stay at home mom point... I'm going through the hard reality of working and feeling like I'm missing out. On the other side of things my husband is home getting to experience everything and wishing he were working. I have a lot of pressure on me because I am providing for my whole family.

2. My hormones are all over the place. I'm very up and down.

3. I can't decide if I want to return to my part time job in April. I really don't want to travel, but it's that little bit of extra money.

Happy Early Birthday to Lily!!!!

I like staying at home with Abby, but I don't love it. I really miss the interaction with adults and the 2nd grade I was teaching. I know I will love it more as Abby gets older and is able to talk more and do more things. I'm happy I am able to keep up with the cleaning and laundry by being home. I also like taking Abby on walks and bike rides, etc.

1. We went to the beach and zoo on Saturday and had a great time. We went to Applebee's for dinner and it was so nice to eat out even though we probably shouldn't have.

2. DST is really throwing me off. I can't believe it is still so light outside at 6:30.

3. It is really hard to find time to study. I was trying to study when Abby naps, but she's been waking up early only giving me enough time to eat lunch. I need to start studying after she is in bed. I am just being stupid wanting that time to relax and watch tv or spend time with DH. I need to grow up. LOL!
