Snapshots and ventings. Welcome to the life of slaving over a ten-month-old boy. |
This will have to be short, since I've been on here long enough, but I wanted to get this going:) My son has been sleeping for an hour already, and if I don't go in there and wake him, he will sleep for at least another hour. Not that I mind the peace, but if I allow that, he'll be up long past nine or ten o' clock - which is definitely worse. Cameron is not a chore, but sometimes I will admit that he seems like an inconvenience every now and then. For instance, bringing income into the household becomes an issue (Will not do daycare. Preschool, yes. But that comes later.) Finding a babysitter so that we can go out at night is never a problem (Matthew's mother is always scrambling to take him), it's just during the day. So here I am, working for my own mother so that I can watch Cameron while Matthew is working - and doing these two things at the same time is much harder than I first anticipated. At least I'm getting paid ten dollars an hour to (A) be my mother's secretary, and (B) feed Cameron his lunch and change his diaper. On top of that, I work at a department store in the mornings while Matthew is still home. And, to be utterly honest, if I had my way I'd be a stay-at-home mom and not work at all. But alas, we all make sacrifices. And now I can hear his cries. Time to get up. |
