I've finally settled into a routine.
I have relaxed.
It's taken weeks to realize that I no longer work and the pace of my life should more closely resemble someone actually enjoying their life than one who rushes and rushes until life is no fun.
Weeks after starting this whole staying at home thing I feel like I've found my groove. A touch of structure with lots and lots of fun thrown in.
Last night I got an email from my boss.
Our client is desperate. (Can they ever come to us before desperation is about to swallow them whole?)
They need me.
It's an offer I can't refuse.
But, shit.
Daycare?
Swimming?
Camp?
...we had plans...
Ya know, it never fails. You get comfortable and then BAM! POW! BANG! BOOM! Life throws you another curve ball.
I am NOT complaining.
It's just that...we had plans.
It's supposed to last 4-6 weeks. The last time they said that it was 7 months. 7 months, people.
I'm going to pull myself together and find a temporary solution in regards to my non-existent childcare situation. But, I'm going to plan on it being 4-6 weeks because I have plans. Lots of them. They include swimming and gymnastics and the playground, yeah the one I hate because damn it I will learn to love it and the mothers who reside there if it kills me.
Seriously, WTF?
Why does it have to be a roller coaster?
No. Whhhhhhhhhhhhy?
OK. Done.

If you figure out why things happen like that let me know!
Kandace you're so cute!
I agree. I want to know how you are even able to consider shifting gear not once but three time. I think I would have whiplash. Good luck.
That's why I can't / won't settle into a routine. Everyone is ALWAYS peeing in MY wind!!!
You shouldn't have a problem finding a high schooler or college student to watch the kids until school starts. Post an ad on Craigslist ASAP and go for it!!
I was supposed to stop working July 1st ... then it was August 1st ... now it's not exactly a set-date as it is a vague dream.
I feel ya sister! I really, really do...
