The Six of Us

Our babysitter quit today.  She blamed me.  She said my boys by saying they were difficult and hard to handle and delayed in several areas.  According to her my schedule is difficult to keep track of.  Pretty much all the horrible things you could say to a mom.    I always asked before I picked up a shift. Now we don't have care on Monday but  I think we have figured it out.  (mostly).  The truth is Monday  was the third day she forgot Andrew at the bus stop. She wasn't the one who told me Andrew was.   I was angry and decided to take a few days to process before I confronted her about it.  In those few days I started looking for daycare on some websites.  She said somebody told her I was looking and she became upset.  I wanted to give her notice.  But, it is unlikely that will happen.  My intent was never to hurt her, my intent was to find the best care for my child.  We had a good relationship or so I thought.  My dad said never mix church and business.  Live and learn.

I have some goals for the this year.  They are pretty similar to last years.  I didn't reach all of them last year but I was more mindful and I accomplished some of them.  Not sure what 2018 will bring us.  Pretty sure it will bring us a teenager.  :0!!!! At the end of the year I hope to be more confident with my decisions.  I hope that I will be more secure in life, financially, emotionally and spiritually. I wasn't going to post them but I thought this would be a good way to keep track. 2018 Goals 1) 52 Date nights January 5-Dinner and Movie (at home) 2) Lose 36  Pounds 3) Read 24 books (12 Fiction 12 non) January-The Art of Housekeeping NF 4) Sew 12 Projects 5) Pay off $24,000  in debt 6) Iron 96 Pieces for Days Of Girls 7) 12 New Recipes (3 Instant Pot, 3 Freezer, 3 Crock Pot and 3 Desserts) 8) Declutter 52 Bags of stuff January 6-Three Bags to IYR 9) 12 Home Improvement Projects 10) Raise Credit Score 48 points 11) Print 120 Pictures 12) Read Book o
