well.

Today started with another meeting with another child care provider at another daycare. Went well - she's fine, the place is fine, the kids are fine. But that's it. Just fine. I want to get excited about where I leave Ethan for most of his day. But then, is that possible? Still searching, not ruling this one out, but still searching. We'll have more meetings with prospects in the next few weeks. Needless to say, I hate the whole thing.

Work's meeting went okay yesterday. First on the offer table is a half time position doing something I think I'd quite like to do, for about the same pay as I had (if not a tiny bit more per hour, but it will be half time so thus half a paycheque). Of course I'd love to only work 10 days a month, spending more time with my little one. Can we swing it? Not sure yet - my boss needs to email me some figures as to what my take home will be and then the number crunching begins. I think if it is a possibility, then money will be incredibly tight - tight like we've never seen it - but for me its worth it having Ethan here with me half the week. As long as our bills are paid, and that we could afford $300/month for p/t daycare. Will keep you posted. The alternative is that if I don't accept this offer they'll try to find me something full time, but it could be anywhere in the ministry, doing anything, and the chance of that anywhere or anything not being absolute crap is pretty small.

Roof building this weekend. We're doing it ourselves with free labour (relatives) but man its still costing us almost $4,000. Which we don't have. Horray!

And on Monday I'm 35. If its not this or that, its the other.

Now I must log off as my cherub wants to play with his mum :)
