For 2 months I got to experience what it would be like to be a stay-at-home mom. I loved every minute but I know that being at home every day wouldn't make me completely happy. I really do enjoy being a teacher, I just wish there was a way to work part-time and I wish I wasn't so overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated. I think NC is the worst possible state to teach in. However, I have friends, a sister, and Kary's family here for support so we're staying put for now.
London turned 11 months today and in just the past week he has been doing so many new things. He started saying a few words. He says dog, cat, hi, dada, and all done. He says them randomly but they are pretty easy to understand. He also climbs up the stairs (fast!), puts blocks inside each other, stands on his own for a while and dances like a maniac anytime he hears music.
We are trying to figure out a childcare situation that doesn't have Kary's mom driving all over the place. I am currently looking for someone to watch him on Tuesdays and Kary may shift a few hours around to be home more on Mondays. We are moving in 2 weeks so things have been totally crazy. Our computer also completely crashed last weekend so that's made work much harder and I've been going in early. The new school hours are horrible and I can't believe I am working 5+ hours extra a week with no more pay.
London is doing great and I am missing a lot of it. I hate that I am not the first one he sees when he wakes up, I hate that I don't get to feed him breakfast and lunch. I hate that he misses me and looks for me and I m not there. I am hoping it gets easier. For now I am going to make the most of every second. I am so pumped to be in our new house!
