Going back to work=EPIC FAIL

I am a SAHM now! Yippie!

Wow. What a change to my past post, eh? Yeah, it has been a horrible and stressful week.

The job that I started on Monday was not really the same "job" as I interviewed for a few weeks ago. I'd have to endure more travel and more "stress" and to be honest, at the end of the day, I didn't need it. I didn't want that. I need to be home with Lauren. I need to be her teacher, her provider, her mom.

Daycare did not sit well with J or myself. Whenever we "randomly" dropped in, LL was always by herself in a swing, either napping or just alone. She never was seen by us being held by the provider. Now I know that there are more than one baby in these rooms that need attention, but LL is a pretty good child and doesn't fuss too much...therefore she didn't get too much interaction.

I am so happy that J and I made this decision. Yeah, it will be hard and challenging sometimes but I am able to spend time upkeeping our home, making meals from scratch, and most importantly, welcoming J home from a long days work with a smile. I love being a domestic goddess, crockpot in hand and baby in the other.

Going back to Work..finally.

I have had a wonderful 5.5 months off with Lauren. So good that I've been too busy to update this blog. We have been to a lot of fun Mom and Me classes, libraries, etc.

It's bittersweet that I've found a job that I'll love again after being at home with her, but sad to have to leave her during the day. So glad my job is flexible so I can stop in and see her when I want.

I start on Monday and I'll be at home for 2w and then 2w in ATL. So excited to get back to ATL.

Lauren is loving her oatmeal cereal now. We added 2 oz. apple/prune juice with 2 oz. water to her diet so she can remain very regulated.

Gotta go now! Cereal time again!
