Okay, so recently I've realized I need a break so I'm considering going back to work. I know I can't believe I'm saying it either. I have really loved being at home with Ethan, but I really miss the socialization of adults and seeing as how I have no friends here in CA, I figured I might as well go back to work, not to mention they pay really well here (almost double what I would make in Bham).
So, Ethan and I have visited a few daycares and he seems to really like it. He gets down immediately and walks around and plays with all the toys and looks at the other kids. Although he didn't play with any of the kids, I'm sure he would learn to.
Ethan is behind on his speech development but advanced in everything else, so we along with his doctor feel like this would really help with getting him to say more words.
Oh and California is ridiculous on daycare expenses. I'm talking a whooping $1400 for 5 days a week. I mean you have to work to afford that!
I've been on 1 interview and didn't really like it, although I've been told they will probably offer me the job I don't think I'm going to accept it. Just wasn't interesting to me. I've applied for several other jobs, so I will keep you posted on how those go. Still can't believe I'm actually gonna go back to work.

Hey Shanna! Where are you in CA? I can't believe how big Ethan has gotten! Time Flies!!
ReplyDeleteWere you a paralegal before? I was thinking you did something along those lines... My friend is one in Orange County, California and they pay her well.
ReplyDeleteHey Shanna, Hope y'all are all doing well.
ReplyDeleteBefore you decide to go back to work full time, I have two suggestions for you.
1. Find a church with a Mother's Day Out program. That will allow Ethan play time and you some Shanna-time.
2. You could also try a Play-date program or M.O.P.S. (Moms Of PreSchoolers) most likely found at local churches or you can search online for MOPS in your area. But this would allow Ethan play time with new friends as well as you time to socialize with other moms (that may be feeling the same way you do).
I hope this might help. Also, I enjoy reading a blog by a mom of one from CA. her blog-site is http://www.hugelove.blogspot.com/ .
Wishing you well and God Bless! :o)
