Well as you can see I only have 3 days left until my official title of "Stay at Home Mom" goes into effect. Although, sometimes really who am I kidding even with working a full time job I feel like I had that title as well as, I am sure, most single parents do. Don't get me wrong I am not a single parent, but my husband does work a second shift which sometimes seems to me like being a single parent. Anyway, everyone (at work) keeps asking me if I'm getting excited about Friday being my last day. Honestly, I never know what to say to them. I am truly scared. I feel that I have gotten this life that I am living pretty down, so moving onto the next chapter is freaking me out a little bit - okay a lot.
I know that for Trystyn's sake this is what I need to do for her. Really, I think it is the idea of not having a job that is freaking me out. Especially, with the way that the economy is. I have told my friends a million times that as of this moment if you have a job you should do whatever you have to to keep the job that you have. But nevertheless, here I am giving mine away. I do know that this is the best thing for my daughter. Especially after her new neurologist told me that it is best to "hit the therapies" hard in the first five years. I am totally looking forward to Aqua Therapy and seeing what she will get out of that. Even if it doesn't help her trunk control that much, the sheer fact that she loves to splish splash in the tub and now she will be in a pool and the joy that I know she will get out of that makes it totally worthwhile.
I am also looking forward to being able to, hopefully, organize and keep my house organized. Which let me tell you it so is not and hasn't been since having our first child almost five years ago. I am excited as well to be able to help Rain (our 4 yr. old son) grow and learn as he starts Kindergarten this fall. Plus, I am planning on finally getting all of the pages that I set up for this site finished and out there for the publics consumption.
Really the list could go on and on of the things that I plan on doing while not having a job, it's just implementing them that will be the hard part. Because in reality Trystyn will have physical, occupational, speech and aqua therapy once a week. She will also have Buddy Builders two times a month and Visual Therapy two times a month. I have signed up to be on the committeefor the Run for Sight this year. I also signed up to be on the Parent Advisory Committee at the Delta Gamma Center. My friend Vikki and I will also be selling all of our baby items that we have, which let me tell you, we could cloth a small army of children, on Ebay. I am heading up that effort as she actually is a single working parent of 2 young children and has no more time to do it herself. I will let everyone know when the Ebay thing is up and running.
Okay - this is getting long and really not about Trystyn - plus I'm work.
