Be-still my heart.

Wow, it has been a while since I have written but here is what has been going on.

I finally got a job. Yay!!! Alas, I slowly came down from the excitement and started to really think about it.

Do I want to work 12 hour days? No
Do I want to work 7 days a week? No
Is it worth it? No

I can't imagine what I would have done if I had stayed with that job. I would never see my family. I know I would be so upset, and so would Lexi, therefore, Dan would be having a pretty rough time. So after a couple days I decided this was not the best decision for my family, called the company, and told them I had changed my mind. It was hard knowing I may be turning down the only thing that had been offered to me, but I had to do it. I just keep telling myself, this was not meant to be, and something better will come.

Well it did!

5 days later I got an email from a company I had interview for in January. It said they hadn't filled the position yet and were wondering if I was still interested. Of course I was. It's perfect for me and what my family needs. Monday-Friday, 8-5. Amazing. I couldn't ask for anything better.

So now we needed to make sure our daycare arrangements were still in place. Well our daycare provider had fallen through, and now we were in a pinch. We had a week to find someone. Let the challenge begin.

I called and emailed a bunch of people I found online, and asked everyone I know for some referrals. We went to some questionable places, but finally found a place we like, and feel safe taking Lexi to.

Well Lexi is calling my name, so this is going to have to have a part 2. Come back to see how our first morning of daycare went.


Question; How did you deal with your kids going to daycare? How did you make it easier on yourself?
