Yesterday we had playgroup, so that took up most of the day. Both kids slept in a little (6:45 and 7), so by the time we all had breakfast, got dressed, cleaned up, and put the snacks together, it was just before 10. Carolyn acted a little weird during playgroup, she was more interested in sitting in my lap and/or eating snacks than playing. Made me wonder if I should be putting her in preschool this year. But it's been a while since she's been around a room full of kids, and she seemed pretty tired on top of it. In the afternoon we just hung out, read some books and played with toys before dinner.
Today so far we've played at home, upstairs and in the basement as I had to work this morning. Attempted to get James to nap in his crib, he only slept a little over an hour. I'm praying that with time he'll get back to the 3 hours he was sleeping with me because he needs it. But I am desperately going to need the time to work this fall.
I didn't get the full time position I applied for, I wasn't really qualified anyway. So I will continue to work as much as possible part time, possibly finding in-person tutoring as well. I'm considering putting up fliers at the grocery stores. Will probably wait to see if Jon gets an interview at the latest job posting first. This is all pretty frustrating and confusing. We just want to provide for our family, without sticking the kids in day care. But we may be headed in that direction if something doesn't give.
Jon has the kids at the park now and I'm waiting on a demo. When does our break come? We've been doing everything we can for so long and it just doesn't seem like anything is falling right financially. I'm terrified of how this year's contract is going to look.
