Ha ha. Our newly acquired property is looking a little dumpish lately. We have papers, garbage, palm tree prongs, concrete, roof shingles, old chairs, baby carseats and strollers, you name it, it's there. So if Mr. D doesn't go on his horse ride this weekend then I have a very bad feeling that we will be at the dump..... cleaning.
Oh yeah. you know those feelings that I was having about wanting another baby? Yeah, they're gone. I started thinking about it one day, and my 4 year screamed at me and then kicked the oven and I sent him to bed. Then when he woke up, he informed me that I had better not send him to bed again. He got spanked with the fly swatter. I hate spanking him. Luckily he doesn't need it too often. But that right there cured me. The thought of having to deal with everything that I already do and adding a poor helpless little baby to the mix was enough to make me cry.
Then I talked to my mom this morning and it helped to put things into perspective even more. I could actually volunteer at my kids school. I could start teaching preschool like I've been planning to for the last 3 years. I could even get a part time job if I wanted to instead. I could grow my catering company finally. I know. Pick one, right?
I was watching my 6 month old nephew a few days a week and now that we are moving she has to find someone else. So, it's time to put my thinking cap on and get a plan in motion. We will hopefully be moving into the house in September so I think it might be a little late to start a preschool. Although there isn't one where I'm moving to, so parents might be okay with starting a little later. Or I could advertise my catering really hard and get going with that again. A lot of work though and no one to hire to help me. Hmmm. Or the last option is to get a part time job. I'm not a fan of having a "boss". Ask my husband. Plus if my kids are sick at school I couldn't leave to go get them. I don't know. I have a few months to figure it out. We'll see what happens.
