Yesterday, our babysitter's (Shell) mother, fell and broke her femur. She is 81 years old. Of course, Craig has a new employer so he says he can't take off work. Basically heres how it goes...Mimmie's surgery is tomorrow. Then Shell says she will make a decision I guess in regards to if and when she will keep kids again. I'm off today and tomorrow because Craig works. If Shell is out for the long haul, I guess I'm going to have to find child care for Cade. But Cade is a very routine, likes his schedule and the people he is comfortable with kind of kid. I don't think he will do well at a big daycare. But I don't think I can afford to quit my job and stay home either. Also, Shell has to take care of her husband that had back surgery 2 weeks ago. I'm super frustrated for a lot of reasons. I think I can handle whatever is thrown at me, but I'm kinda tired of these curve balls. My kids come 1st, but I have to pay my bills. Do I just suck it up and hope Cade can adjust to a daycare? Do i quit working and hope we make it? Am I selfish to just want my life to be more simple and run a bit more smoothly? I'm worried about Mimmie as she is not in the best health. I'm worried about Shell because I know she has a lot on her plate. I'm worried about me because I'm not sure how much more I can take either. Misfit toys. Stay tuned.
