Not a whole lot to report on this week, but Zuri is down for her nap and J got called into work so I have a moment of free time. It doesn't happen much anymore, so it is nice. Today was Zuri's second time in nursery, and she did great again! In fact, J was holding her when we went into the nursery room and she struggled to get out of his arms so she could get down and play. It is so nice that she is doing so well. After church was over, I was putting Zuri's jacket on her in the foyer and some guy (I am still getting to know people in our ward and he wasn't someone I had yet met) said that he was in the nursery room for a short time trying to calm his boy down and he said that Zuri did so well. When I told him that it was only her second time, he was amazed and congratulated me on putting her in nursery on time and how developed her social skills are at her age. It was nice for him to say, especially since we don't get much good feedback from people regarding Zuri. It is good to hear something positive for once.
On another note, we spoke in Sacrament meeting today. I spent all day yesterday researching and putting my talk together and J spent an hour and a half total. Guess who gave the better talk? J. Lol, he thrives being in the spotlight. I like to watch and observe. When I have to speak in front of people my mind goes blank. I don't know if anything I said today even made sense...it didn't to me, but people came up to me afterwards and told me how much they liked my talk and what a great job I did. So I guess it wasn't a complete mess! As I was looking at my notes later, I noticed that I completely missed two points that I was going to talk on. Ooops! C'est la vie!
Work is going well--as well as can be, anyway. I didn't realize what a transition it would be for me. It isn't like I haven't worked full-time before! It is hard to let go and know that she is going to be just fine with me not there all the time. I think the hardest part is that she isn't eating much; not that she was a porker before, but she is eating even less now that I am working. I am terrified of her losing weight again--she was just starting to fill out a little. The first part of the week I was in tears constantly. I have to let go. I know that this is the best thing for our family at this time, but it doesn't make it easier. We are still figuring out who is watching Zuri for us, and thankfully we have two people who are able to switch. So far, it is working out--we have next week covered, but this week to week thing is hard.
I know what you're going through. I'm on a week to week basis also in finding a babysitter and i hate it. But it always seems to work out.
