It's been two years since I've posted anything here about being a mom. It's funny that my last post was around the time my kiddo started coasting. Things sped up and haven't stopped since.
I am now the proud custodian of a running, talking, potty trained two-and-a-half-year-old. She is as lovely as ever, except when she has her practice three-year-old tantrums.
Life is good. My husband has been promoted a bit; same position, bigger store. The animals are still farting and shedding all over the place. I've taken up working out (WHAT?! I don't know me either) and spent the last year babysitting part time. It's been a good thing for me and our family.
Today I learned that my babysitting charges, who are family, are moving this summer. It is a bit of a heartbreak on a few levels. My daughter, Flora, has grown to love their girls so much. I've grown closer to the family and I've come to rely on the money I've been making. I will need to scramble to replace the income. I have a few months still but this fall is preschool (!!!) and my husband and I still don't feel it's time for me to go back full-time, so scheduling will be hard. But that's life and I'm so lucky to have my hardships be paying my gym membership and finding a good part-time job.
It's a beautiful spring that came late.
