I'm stressing a bit. It's sort of a good stress and a bad stress. Scott got offered another day at work for the next five weeks but could be until Christmas. Normally, we both work part time in order to avoid child care. So he works the days I'm off, and I work the days he's off. But he makes A LOT more than I do (I'm underemployed at the moment). So when they offer another day, he pretty much needs to take it. We need him to take it. So he took it, and of course it's on a day that I'm normally working.
My mom already gets conned into, er, I mean babysits my neice and nephew who are 3 years old and 5 months old respectively. I say conned into because she is getting royally taken advantage of as far as how long she's watching them, etc.. So of course I never ask her to watch our kids because I feel like the poor woman needs at least a few free hours a week. So she can't really watch my kids on Wednesdays; she says she can, but 5 kids is a bit much when three of them are under 3 years old! There's no one at work I can switch around with because the schedule is tight, everyone else has commitments and such that they are already scheduling around. My sister is the only real option, but I know Maddie and likely Mason will not react well to that. She's never watched them before so I hesitate because of how they might react. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and have her watch them. It's only for 5 hours, and I work right around the corner from my house so it should be fine, right? Right???
It's got to work because we really need the extra income. It couldn't have happened at a better time!
