a little more sunshine in my days...
well, obviously it's been far too long since I've blogged, but with good reason {I think}. We've had lots of changes going on around here over the past few weeks. Dan & I decided after a little shake up at Lydia's babysitter, that we'd try keeping her at home with me. It wasn't so much a hard decision as it was trying to make sure we could make it all work out. With my full time design job at home, I have plenty of work to accomplish for sure, but I've spent the last week & a half trying to work it out. I love having Lydia at home. My days are now inter-mixed with design work, blowing bubbles, swinging, puzzles & such. Hearing her chatter, extra hugs & kisses through the day & just having someone here with me is a welcome change. Getting some time away from the computer throughout the day really helps me feel a little more fresh!!! I think it's even made me better at time management:) I was a stay at home mom with both of the boys, although then I didn't hold a full time position besides... so I know you definitely have to use your "free" time wisely! I've figured out times of the day that work best for uninterrupted work time & times that I need to take a break to play, read, or just cuddle. It's such a wonderful thing to watch & listen to her growing & learning new things everyday. When I have a meeting or an appointment or just because Grandma Mary has been delighted to spend time with her as well. I'm taking all the time I can to soak it all in & enjoy this opportunity. Although some days I might not get done everything I want to accomplish I'm reminding myself to take a deep breath & remember it's nothing I can't work on when Dan gets home or when the kids go to sleep. I love you Lydia & yes you definitely are MY SUNSHINE :)
