I am a very inept blogger. Where do people, who are much busier than I, have the time to blog? Not only on one blog, but multiple blogs. Sheesh.
So far, 30 has been quite uneventful. Many friends have told me metabolisms screech to a dead halt and the wrinkles, they keep a comin’. I’ve been lucky up to this point but then again, it’s only been 35 days. Heh.
My MIL is going back to Korea on Wednesday. She does 6 month stints in the US and in Korea, so she can help us out with the kids but mostly so she can continue to collect her SS. She became an American citizen about 7 years ago. I remember the day she came out of the swearing in ceremony, waving her tiny American flag and greeting us with a big smile.
I’m ready for her to go but part of me will miss her company. Sure, she talks incessantly and our house always smells like Viet Huang fish sauce, but she was free childcare, babysitting and cook, all in one. Now I’m going to have to make dinner every night. You know, like a normal person.
For the next six months, my husband is going to be a Work at Home Dad. He’s mostly excited and happy to spend some quality time with the kids but I know he’s worried that he won’t be able to get any work done during the day. We’re just going to have to sacrifice a bit of family time during the evenings so he can bang out some work. The transition will be tough but it’s definitely worth it to have him home with them. Besides, we could never afford daycare for two. How do people do that, anyways?!
