LIFE AS I SEE IT
I was going to post last night but instead I decided to try and get through my work email (Which is a task for me these days being short handed at work). I have a goal to get my email organized by the first of the year.
Last night I came home to my wonderful son and husband. Jason was working in his garage as normal. Logan wanted to stay out in the garage with daddy. Which completely breaks my heart that I am not cool enough to hang out with anymore but then I get excited to see Jason and Logan build there relationship. Instead of cleaning, cooking or doing laundry when I got home and had no child inside. I decided to take a bath and relax. As most of you know being a mom does not allow much time for yourself. So when the situation presents itself for 30 minutes alone. I usually will do something for me and let other things go. I know probably not a wise move.
I love to turn the music on, light candles and take a HOT bath. Although I spend most of my time thinking about what bills to pay next, who needs clean laundry, what still needs to be done at work and what's for dinner. I still get to close my eye's and rest for alittle while. Jason knows that every once in awhile dinner might be late but I need that 30 minutes of me time. I find myself thinking about how do I do it sometimes.
Daily Routine
5 AM Wake up
5:15 AM Shower
5:45 AM Kiss Jason goodbye
6:00 AM Start waking Logan up (This is a task in itself)
6:20 AM Potty time for Logan
6:30 AM Get Logan Dressed
6:45 AM Put Makeup on and get ready
7:00 AM Get out the DOOR (I am always late)
7:15 AM Drop Logan off at Daycare (They provide hot breakfast luckily)
7:40 AM Arrive at Work
Work all Day
4:30 pm Leave Work
5:00 PM Pick Logan up
5:30 pm Get home

8:30 pm Bed Time for Logan
9:00 pm Bed Time for ME
This is a normal Day for me but add in the grocery shopping, paying bill, cleaning house, visiting family and laundry somewhere. Then I start to think how do I do this day in and day out and one wonders why I have no time for anything else. I really try to devote one day a weekend to whatever Logan wants to do.
I have mixed emotions about working and not staying home with my son. My husband does not have benefits offered where he works but he makes decent money. I am responsible for providing health care for my family. I also think that we could not function on only one income. We work hard to provide the best life possible to our son. There is nothing wrong with sending your child to daycare. I know people have told me different but really I love where Logan goes. They provide a safe, fun and loving environment. Sometimes he is having so much fun he doesn't want to leave. Although I can say not every childcare provided is like mine. I am thankful that Logan will be able to attend the same program until 12 years old. They have a nice, friendly and clean facility. The programs are structure around learning and growing. Logan's teacher treats him like he is her own. So for now this is what works for my family and I am OK with that.

where does he go to daycare?
He attends Creative Play Learning Center in St. James. The are very sturctured and he is very happy there. He stayed with a friend of the family until he was 20 months old. He started to get bored and I realized he needed a preschool type enviroment. I would recommend them to anyone. Of course there is always a waiting list.
