I got a job! I'm nannying a little girl who is 2 months younger then Owen. It is a tremendous blessing, and I'm trying very hard not to complain about it. Its a little rough right now as she is still getting used to me and owen and the new enviornement. She's pretty whiny and clingy-and tests my patience very often! :). I don't really know how her and owen are liking each other yet. She seems to hit him and take his toys a lot, and he's not very warm to her (which frankly I wouldn't be either if u were hitting me) ha!
That said, I'm so thamkful for this job. It allows me to stay at home with my son and to make some extra cash! I was looking and planning on finding outside care for owen a couple days a week, thinking itd be good for me to get out of the house, working with adults, and making money. However-when it came down to it- I couldn't do it. Not now anyway. I've been at home with him since he's been born..to put him in someone elses hands overwhelms me! I do stiLl think I dneed more adult interaction during the week- and I do believe getting out without owen once and a while is good for me.
That said, the Lord is just really taking care of us and providing for us in a lot of small ways. Ways that don't seem super big or obvious to people around us. Mark and I are currently more content then we have been in our entire marriage. Being closer to friends and amoungst our family again is good for our souls.
