Big Changes to Come!

These last few months, Sean has been really busy with school and as he finishes up, he will continue to get busier and busier. He would love to go down to part time eventually, but since he's the only one bringing money in and paying for insurance, that isn't possible. Tate mostly sees me and is primarily cared for on a day to day basis by me and so (as I have mentioned before) he has developed some attachment issues to me. I know it would be good for him to be exposed to other children and adults on a regular basis so that he can learn to be okay without me or Sean. This, in addition to the fact that a little extra money would be nice has lead me to the decision to go back to work. I have been looking and applying for some jobs over these last couple of months and have had to be quite particular about what hours I would work because of Sean's crazy schedule. I needed Monday through Friday daytime hours and no weekends since Sean works weekends and evenings and we would have no one to watch Tate if I were working too! A job at Wells Fargo presented itself to me...I interviewed for it a couple of weeks ago and they hired me. I have avoided blogging about it for a while because I am sad. I know it will be a good thing, but I feel sick just thinking about leaving Tate 40 hours a week! I've never left him for more than 5 hours at a time! I do know that this will be very good for him though. We found an in home daycare provider that we are really excited about...she is great! We have already gone over there and Tate met her and seemed to like her. Sean's cousin takes her daughter there and has nothing but great things to say about her, so that makes me feel better as well. Tate won't be there full time, he'll only be there for 1/2 days on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays and then all day on Thursdays and Fridays. This summer he'll be there even less since Sean won't have class in the summer. I plan to work until Sean is done with nursing school after next year and then we'll see what happens after that. I start on January 7th!
