So I haven't blogged for awhile. I have been just trying to keep my eyes open. I forgot how exhausting it is to be up with a newborn at night. The longest stretch of sleep that I have gotten since she was born is almost 6 hours. Normally though it is between 2-3 hours. I may be weird though. I really actually like the alone time that I get with Alex. The house is silent and we are simply cuddling while she nurses. Some nights I can't keep my eyes open and we just cuddle while I hope that I don't drop her on the floor!
Abby and Kate go to daycare on Tuesday and Thursday's at 10:30. This gives me a few hours alone. On Tuesday's I go grocery shopping. This is my big expedition for the week. I get to walk around Walmart by myself (Alex joins me now) for around an hour. I get to look at all the same merchandise that is there every week but it is like a small vacation! I look forward to it every week. Sad? Yes. Do I accept it? Yes.
I've been working on getting the rest of my maternity leave figured out and after a few conversations with the HR department I've got most of it figured out. I had an audit done on my vacation time and sick time and apparently I have about 21 hours more than I thought I did. Now I have to figure out how to use it before I loose it in April. Apparently I have a few more conversations in my future.
I'm kind of nervous because I've been a designer with the Depot for years and they of course hired somebody to replace me while I was gone. Well, that doesn't leave much opportunity for me to be a designer again. So what does that leave for me? I have no idea but hopefully it will all work out. All that really matters is that I have a job and will continue to get a paycheck!
I'm going to try to keep up on my blogging. No more excuses. Sleep deprived or not, I WILL BLOG!!!
