Ive decided to put Jett in occasional care with our local Neighbourhood house from 9-1 on Tuesdays, only costs me $13, theyre accredited, he'll be with other military kids and I think he will love it. Just enough time for me to have a sleep, clean, just have a morning to myself and he wont feel like Im leaving him there all day every day. I know what you mean Caddie, I want to get him going now before the baby comes because it will be a huge weight off my shoulders if he's happily playing for a few hours and I can spend time with bub, go shopping, make appointments for that morning etc I just know he will love it, he loves other kids.
I was still unsure until last night when I went to another military wife's house for a Mary Kay party. I wasnt going to go but I felt awful that she came round esp to invite me, she's a really nice girl (her hubby works with mine) and I said I'd go. I had a BALL! We gossiped and they told me that I have to come to their coffee morning in base every wednesday, if I dont theyll come fine me because I need friends and theyre great friends They were really positive about the daycare (they use it) as theyve all got kids (one of them goes to the playgroup Ive been thinking of going to so she's convinced me to do that too) and theyre outgoing and fun like me. I havent felt so, normal I guess, since before we moved to Perth. Ive been invited to another party (Crystal and Linen) tonight so I told Ry he'll have to put J to bed because Im not going to be rude and I like going out. Im even going to host my own Mary Kay party when MIL comes over. Things might just be looking up for me now!
Im feeling better m/s wise, still have to odd spew but I dont wake up dreading eating food. Ive even put a silverside in the slow cooker. J is asleep and has been since 10:30. Im showered and my hair is blow dried (I know I cant believe I managed to do all that in a morning!)
