I said I would be letting out my frustrations at some point didn't I. I have not really had a very good week. It started off ok, but yesterday and today so far have not been very good. I know I have additional hormones that add to that, but I am just stressed, overwhelmed, and tired all at the same time. My first frustration is the rate at which our contractors are moving. I am not patient, but I think I have done well so far. They really haven't made much progress this week and I am not very happy with them. It has been a beautiful week and I come home every day to see like ONE little thing they have done. Ahhhhhhhh! Don't they know we are on a timeline. Anyway, another thing really stressing me out is my job. I already know that I am not going to want to come back to work after Jameson is born. However, with a new house and baby it is almost impossible for me to stay at home. I have been given an opprotunity to take a part time position in Clay County, but it cuts my salary in half. It would be perfect as far as daycare and me getting to spend some quality time with Jameson as he grows up. I just don't want to miss the "baby times" he will go through after he is born. If I could work a few days and stay home a few days it would be great. The money is the issue! I know that every soon to be mother goes through this. I also know that there are plenty of full time moms that work and have plenty of time with their babies. I have just had so many people come up to me and tell me that he will only be a baby for a short time and I need to spend as much time as possible with him. I also know that taking a part time job is a leap of faith. God will provide, but it is just scary when you don't know how much of a house payment you are going to have. So, I am torn this week. Do I take a leap of faith (which Rusty didn't sound to sure about last night), or do I stay where I am and hope that I don't miss too much. I like my job now. It is pretty low on stress and I like the environment, but I don't get home until 6 each night and on Tues. I don't get home until after 8. He will be ready to go to bed by then. Rusty would also have to take him to daycare each day very early because I don't trust any daycares in this area. So, I would see him maybe an hour each morning and maybe 2 hours each night before bed. I just don't know if it is worth it. I know most of you are moms and have been through this so please give me some advice. I am all ears. I think Rusty tries to understand, but in a way he has no idea. He is wired to be the "provider" and I am wired to be the "nurturer and mother". I think he wants what is best, but doesn't quite get it. I need some womanly input. Sorry this is so long, but I had to get it out.
