Carrie: August 2005 Archives
Well, I got it. The job, that is. I will say it is
a Good Thing and leave it at that. Complaining will not solve a
thing.
So, go me!
That title is just a little shout-out to Sara,
haha.
Things have been remarkably busy around here. So
much is going on that I want to remember, but I can't seem to slow down long
enough to document it. Seth will be two in less than two months, already! Like
Sara said, you would think, being at home, we could keep track of it all. But we
can't. On to other things.
Soon, I will not be a stay-at-home mom any more. I
have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it will be really nice to get
out of debt. We're just not making it on Greg's pay alone. But then there's
putting my kids in daycare. Jade will be fine, she's ready for school anyway,
but I had really wanted to stay home with Seth a little longer. At least I've
had these two years. The other uncomfortable factor is the actual finding of the
childcare. So far, I haven't been able to find anything that doesn't take at
least half my (potential) paycheck for the two of them, and even without my
paycheck, we make just a HAIR too much for Headstart. I'm a little frustrated at
the moment, to say the least. I want quality for my kids, and I want it to be
affordable. Is that too much to ask?
Yikes. Time to turn the optimism back
on.
