Day 69...no bites yet.

Mar 29

I got nothing. No bites on my post in my Midwives yahoo group. I responded to an add on Craigslist that sounded perfect, but no response from the lady yet...Eli was not convinced I should ask my work if I can have Mondays and Tuesdays off to care for the boy.

I know I still have time, but I'm feeling frustrated about finding a person. I want to have it taken care of as soon as I can, so I have time to do a few test runs with the person before I have to go back to work.

I guess I just have to keep being patient and keep looking. It's almost like looking for a job, which is the thing I loathe and despise doing the most.

It rained all day today, and was kind of chilly out so I stayed in the house the entire day. Poor dog, had to wait for dad to come home to get a walk in....there was no way I was going to be willing to take the boy out in the weather, especially when he finally fell asleep and stayed asleep when I layed him down. He kind of missed out on his big daytime nap the last few days and was cranky, so I was very glad for it today.

Dinner was pretty much the only thing I got done today...oh and the dishes. Well that's something I guess. I was supposed to run a couple errands, but just couldn't motivate myself to leave the house in the rain.

Martyn was all smiles this morning...as usual. I'm dealing with a morning person here, how ever did that happen? Actually over the years, I've found myself to be somewhat more of a morning person. Never like my mom...for me it's more once I'm up, I'm up. It doesn't (usually) take me a long time to wake up once I get out of bed. Especially now that I have the baby to take care of. Some days though, it would be so easy to get up with him, and then go back to bed with him about an hour after we get up...hey he does, I should be able to too, right? No. That's ok though.

It was nice when Eli came home tonight, to just talk with him. We watched a little bit of "tv" on Hulu, but we talked about my idea to stay home part time. He didn't think it was a good idea, and after talking about it with him, I came to the conclusion that I should at least go back to work and feel it out, before presenting them with my idea. See if it really is as slow as I'm anticipating it to be. That is a smarter idea I suppose.

We shall see.
