Well here we are. After what seems like an eternity (but has really only been a little over a year) my mat leave has ended and I am expected to go back to work and let some stranger raise my little one.
Well it isn't gonna happen. I think Hasan and I decided long ago that I would stay home once Kadin was with us. It was a long thought out decision and it has/will take some sacrafices....but those we will make happily. I will have to find someway to make some cash on the side...god only knows how but I'll find something.
I mean when we made this decision we thought about everything involved. The cost of daycare is crazy anyways and its the exact amount I was making when I was working so what's the point? Besides Kadin adores having his mommy home with him. He told me so. hehe
It seems that as soon as the mat leave ran out and I wasnt getting money for nothing (well giving birth I guess) some personality I have never known appeared.
I find myself doing dishes everyday. Cooking everyday. Scrubbing floors. Changing bed cloths. Packing away clean laundry. My god!
Ok wait for those of you who don't know me...I'm a Taurus and have a pretty severe aversion to house cleaning. For those of you who do know me...pick your mouth up off the floor. haha
Is this my way of making my (I mean our) stay-at- home decision more ok? Is it my way of lessening the guilt of Hasan going off to work everyday? ORR is it simply my way of not going nuts doing nothing but sitting around the house watching the Olsen twins on Oprah!? :)
Whatever it is - it works. I enjoy it. Gives me purpose. Yes picking up dirty underwear off the bathroom floor can do that for you.
And now that Kadin is mobile its easy to have him play in the floor close to where mommy is getting her house work done.
Some other big decisions have been made by Hasan and I of late. Some we can share others we cannot. One we would like to let people know about it our beautiful, gorgeous, innocent, friends - Daisy and Grady.
Excuse me....
Sorry...back.
It's too hard and so over the next little bit Hasan and I will be trying to decide where they should end up before the end of the year.
Don't judge us please. This was NOT easy by ANY means. We just didn't understand how it would be after Kadin got here.
We are also offering up our lease of a KIA Rio to anyone who is willing to take it! hahaha :)
Ok so lets end on a good note....Kadin got up at 3 am last night and stayed up till 4:30 am. Wait that's not a good.....
OH WAIT here's something...this will be my first Mother's Day and my birthday is just the day before!! YEh gifts! ha
