Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did it again. It is March and time is flying faster than I can believe. I think I may be dreaming. Real time doesn't pass like this. *sigh*
I made a big decision official yesterday: "poor" for two more years, at least. I had a meeting with the Head of School at Montessori a few weeks ago and toyed with the notion of going to back to teaching full time. I thought that I would be ready but the more thought I put into it and the cuter you become every day, Caelan, the more certain I am that I just can't do it. Your growth, health and development are too important to me and I just can't imagine passing you off to anyone else for 40+ hours a week. My idea of parenting does not include seeing you for only 3 hours a day.
I am thrilled, however, that the Administrators at MSS loved the idea of my working the After School Program for 2 years as a part of my prospective '5 year plan' which I presented to them. That way I will still earn some income and Daddy will get to spend some quality time with you right after school! This plan will allow me to stay home with you all day, work a few hours in the afternoon, and still have energy to try and make you a baby brother or sister! :)
Darn it, you're awake. You have only been asleep for 20 minutes! Your top teeth are trying to come in and are giving you absolute hell. I suppose I have to run...
