If I try to write here at least once a week, maybe on Friday's while K. is napping and we are home together, do we think I will stick to it?
I love the idea of this blog as a way to keep in touch with everyone. But I've become shamefully bad at it.
So here I dive in with today's guilt-fest dilemma.
K. is currently in F/T daycare, although I work P/T. I mean, we are paying for F/T until he turns 18 mos., but only drop him there the three days a week that I work. Yesterday, I didn't have to work until the afternoon, but Derek dropped him off in the morning (daycare is half an hour drive away, across the street from Derek's office) because I wasn't going into D*yton at all for work, only had home visits close to my house. So I spent the morning getting gardening done, then worked in the afternoon and evening. Didn't see K. until bedtime. And I feel horribly guilty about it, although I admit a part of me enjoyed having the morning to myself.
This situation arises at least every other week. So I feel a dilemma. Do I keep him in the morning, drive an extra hour just to drop him off? Or have Derek take him in the morning. The environmentalist in me hates the idea of driving that hour (r/t) when Derek is already going there for work. The mama in me feels guilty about K. being in daycare when I'm at home. The selfish part of me does enjoy the time to myself once a week. What do you think???
It's lovely here in spring and K. and I spent the morning hiking in the woods past a creek and a small waterfall. This was in the nature preserve that we can walk to from our house. This is what I love about living here.
