Well another week has gone by. They seem to go so slow but also so fast. Why do you think that is? D going to school three nights a week definitely makes the evenings seem slow. E and I have been going out every Wed night while he is gone. It is a lot of fun we go somewhere different each week, sometimes with other people and sometimes by ourselves.
This week we went out with a girlfriend of mine and her two kids. E had a blast being around the other kiddos. So much in fact that when I picked her up last night she cried because she wanted to go back and play with them some more. This just solidifies the fact that I really think she needs a sibling.
I hate, I mean hate the fact that she will be an only probably. I know she has a half brother but he doesn't live with us and they are so far apart in age. D is coming around to the idea of another. Which would be good news but the bad news is that we can't afford to have another right now. For one our house is not big enough. For two daycare is way too much money, I would be spending over 300 a week, yes you read that right, a WEEK on daycare for the two of them, Uh hello why even bother working. Oh yes I need to work to help pay the bills, but how can I pay bills when I have to spend that much on daycare. Well I guess that means we can't have another baby right now.
And that really sucks!

You are a awesome mommy! It doesn't matter if you have 1 or 10, they will be lucky to have you and D as parents.
xxoo
Awwww! :( I hope you can figure something out that could work even if not now. ((((HUGS)))) Like Ang said, you both are great parents and i'm sure she loves it when C visits. :)
If i were closer, i'd babysit for you for sure AND basically nothing on the friendship plan!
XOXOXOXO
Court,
It doesn't matter how much you make or don't make, there is never enough money. So you have to chose the decision that will leave you with no regrets. THat would be have another baby. Maybe you could find a nanny to come to your home instead for like 200 wk? Maybe you could stay home and/or work from home? Maybe, maybe, maybe.........but don't omit the son/daughter you long to still have ;) Trust me, that would be a regret you would never live down.
i Just have to ditto everythign Carin said. I was gonna say the same thing. It's never the 'right'time. there is never 'enough' money. And yet somehow it all works out. All it takes is a little faith to take the leap. ;-)
