Midweek Confessions




~ I have a pretty big confession this week. Will and I have decided that I will not be returning to teaching. With Will traveling so much and not having family near we feel that it is very important for me to be home with Harper. I have loved teaching the last 5 years and will never forget many of my wonderful students. It is so funny how things change when you have a little one.

~ I am also starting a new career. I will be working from home for my father-in-law for his marketing company.  Tom (my father-in-law) owns an embroidery, screen-printing, and promotional products company which I will be helping him run from my home. So, if you need any of these products please email in the contact section of my blog and I will give you details on how to buy products from me.

~ I really enjoy all the help I have received from my family. However, one night last week Will and I went out with some friends  to come home to a sleeping baby who decided to stay up for 4 hours straight that night. Reason this happened is that these sweet family members did not wake Harper at all that night instead, they just held her and let her sleep. See we have a BIG routine in the evenings. We always try to keep Harper up at least 3 hours starting at 9 or 10 so we can get a good 4-5 hours of solid sleep before her next feeding. Since, this routine did not happen she was off schedule and stayed up later in the night or should I say morning. So, I was not happy.

~ We are taking Harper to Bermuda with my family in June for my parents 35 Wedding Anniversary. Since, my  whole family will be there we are not worried about traveling with her since we will have help. However, right now we are waiting on a correction on her birth certificate because whoever submitted Harper's Vital Records at the hospital put down Will as "Will" instead of his legal name "William." So, we are waiting for that to come corrected so we can get her a passport. So , this has been frustrating for us.

~ Yesterday, I took my 4runner to our local Firestone to get my oil changed. When I went to pick up my car they told me that my tires were worn out and I needed 4 new ones. Now our problem is what we are going to do with my car. Since, we do travel a lot we are concerned we will need more space in a vehicle. For example, when we travel we will have Lilly, her crate, Harper's pack-n-play, stroller, our two golf bags, and all of our luggage. So, we have a lot to squeeze into a car. We are trying to decided if we should pay for new tires or just trade in my car for a bigger SUV or van. Cannot believe I just said van but it is pretty practical and nice.

~ Will is taking us to the beach this week and I am so excited but nervous on how we are going to do with a 5 hour drive and getting all our stuff down there. So, I will let you know about that tomorrow!

Thanks for reading my confessions.. I feel much better :)

Now tell it is your turn..
