tomorrow



i start back to work after a month long, unexpected leave from my salon. i am feeling bittersweet about it. i love and miss my clients but i was already sad to leave just evan now how will i feel about little cora grace too? i know i know, it will be fine but still, i have it to think about. my clients are trickling back to me and i hope they can stay loyal a little longer, for however long i keep doing hair so i can pay for these babies (especially the unexpected go across the country for kind, lol). ;). i'll just really have to pick up my hair game and maybe serenade them a little to sweeten the pot. ;) lol.


on some other interesting news... currently, my friend rachel has been watching evan and doing a bang up job of it. he loves her (almost) as much as me (and in moments of tantrums, sometimes does prefer her, lol) and really loves having a playmate in her youngest of 4 daughters Emma. he will be spoiled for the next two days cause all the girls are home for the summer and they love him so he will be WORE out! and cora, well, she won't know what to do with all the attention (hopefully she get's to sleep at some point, she'll let them know). anyway, this week a client asked why i don't have someone come to my home instead. assuming that would be WAAAAAY out of my budget i've always passed on the thought but after more discussion, i realized it would cost the same so she asked if she could ask her babysitter if she knew someone. after some him hawing, i said sure and in a matter of 2 days, we had a cute young lady named Mandy at our door this morning who we really like and she will be starting next week! i'm really grateful to, so far, had such kind and loving women to watch my children while i have put them in other's care. i know evan has thrived in these situations and made great friendships with my friends children and now to have him in his own home will make me feel one step closer to that myself. although working while i have children isn't my 'dream', it is necessary for our family for now and i hope it will continue to prepare our family to afford me home full time soon. michael and i work hard towards that dream and are not willing to be burdened by debt in order to do it so i have to be a little more patient and that is what gets me through my work days. that and the fact that i have the best clients/friends on earth. so, see you tomorrow chop shop, i've missed you.


oh yeah and sorry but i'm really looking forward to coming home tomorrow night to watch the season premier of BIG BROTHER!!! he he he he he he he he. Rusty, you feelin' me? ha ha ha

So glad you can have someone come to your home. I know Ben and I have gone back and forth about my going back to work and the hardest thing for me is thinking about having to take my kids to daycare. P.s. LOVED Evan's shirt!
