Day Care

Well, it is Waylon's first week at "school".  I think it's been good for him once he's there, but as we all knew growing up, our preference is to be with mom or dad. 

It's been a big week of adjustments and we've been dropping off to sleep like puppies.  Any place, any time, anywhere.

Waylon is still saying lots of stuff.  Like:  "It will be fun!" and clapping at the same time.

Grandma is here!

This week has been fun having Grandma Anderson here.  She has come to watch Waylon until the opening at daycare is available.  Yeah, daycare.  It frightens the crap out of us, but we have to go with the best we can do.  We are sure it will be for the best, but you can't help the feelings of the "parenthood protection policy".  

Friday, Grandma, mom & Waylon went to breakfast at the Bear Paw.  It was really good and all went well.  Sunday church was tipsy turvy.  There were some things said in class about stay-at-home moms and the responsibility of mothers according to doctrine.  Sakes, it's hard to sit in a room full of stay-at-home mothers.  I don't know, but taking care of kids at home is really hard. I've always thought that's a noble job.  Unfortunately I don't have that option and I carry regrets of how I could have formed my life differently as does Kirk.  I was reassured from Kirk that we are doing the best we can and that's all Christ expects we can do.  So that made me feel better, but still....being a mom who works and crams in the precious 2-3 hours I get with my son every night, I don't think if you've always been a stay-at-home mom, you could judge the emotional roller coaster and "should'ves" and shouldn't haves that us working mothers go through.  I do know all mothers will do anything for their children.  We just do the best we can.  

I have had funky dreams about my high-school friends for the past few days.  Also even some other past boyfriends.  It's pretty funny, these dreams, but also these dreams always have the most true emotions involved.

Car is two-yearolderized!



What you are looking at here is a full box of Rice Baby Cereal distributed on the child's side of the car within 60 seconds or less.  We should have taken the pictures before we removed said child from the car seat.  This happened on Mother's Day 2008.  Mother did receive 10 super-duper car wash/vacuum coupons 7 hours prior to this event.  How coincidental!  Daddy must have ESP....

A new beginning...


First of all, can anyone put me in traction?  After a mild workout on the stationary bike, I found myself drying my hair following a shower.  Somehow, towel in hand,  I moved in a different direction than my body wanted and my back muscles have locked up ONCE again. The last time something of this nature happened, it was way back on April 23rd.....of this year. Well, as we all may have to have some issue to deal with, I guess this one is mine.

We had a great weekend and have decided to look at other options for Waylon's care during the day.  We just think it is time for a change.  I think at first it will be hard for him to understand this change, but in the long run, I think the interaction with other kids an different activities and/or learning techniques might be a good move.  This is what we are hoping for.  So it is a new beginning for us this week.

More later...PS, beware of the towel!
