Somehow, two and a half years have gone by. I didn't even remember my password to get in and update the blog for a while. So what has happened? Just a little bit of everything.
Motherhood, meeting a soul mate in my daughter, tough times in my family, parenting: shit it is hard, marriage feeling challenges but getting stronger, my body feeling defeated but getting stronger, not working, babysitting for work, working on my fitness, losing some weight, my house being a disaster always.
Basically, we exploded into a family.
And it is wonderful. Truly. But I feel like I'm just getting to the surface after a long and hard swim.
I just got another curveball. I have had a wonderful babysitting job. Perfect part-time hours for a teacher's kids and great pay. I was just gearing up for a summer off with some saved money and back to babysitting in the school year but it isn't meant to be. The family is moving this summer. While I'm really excited for them, my throat tightens with worry. I need to find something else to bring some money into the family.
That's what is on my mind this week.
