As of last June, I officially became a full time WAHM. I work 41 hours a week caring for a young lady who just turned 1 year old. Her name is Maggie, and she and Sam have been getting along OK so far. She is this close to beginning to walk. I probably won't post many pictures of her here, since I don't have her mom's OK to do that, and I will try not to complain too much about work. It's not what I want to do forever, but since I'm already mommy-ing full time for Sam, adding one more kid and a little income is what works for us at the moment.
I LOVE being self-employed. I HATE having to get up so dang early, but I LOVE not having a commute. I borrowed a second carseat and bought a double stroller on craigslist, so we go on adventures sometimes. It is exhausting work, but ultimately very rewarding.
Just in the last couple of weeks, I've managed to carve out enough time to work on a few crochet projects for the holidays. I'm not going to want to post pictures of them until after they are given away, but I'll save shots to show off the work. As long as the pattern is mindless enough, and as long as the kids aren't climbing me, I can watch them play while I work on a project. I'm not making anything for sale any time soon, but it does feel good to get back into crafting. It relaxes me.
