Babysitter Worries for Back to Work Time

So, I am supposed to go back to work for December 1st. Luckily it is a salon my friend and I am starting up in her home so I am my own boss for the most part. The problem that I am faced with is that my boyfriend does not do regular 9-5 job everyday. sometimes he works overtime n very little or no notice late into the night. This poses a big problem for me as my babysitter I have secured only works until 5:30 at the latest. Now, not to be nasty towards in laws, BUT... They are retired and they cannot even commit to the two hours after supper two days a week to help me out. Then the Saturday from 10-2. I mean thanks grandma and grampa! It is really too much to ask of your child's grandparents to help you out. I know some people who have parents who are just dying to see their grandchildren. oh no. not these guys. I have no clue why these people cannot help us out. So, now not only do I have to hire someone from 930 am until 5 pm, but now I need to find some poor soul to pick him up from his sitters on Thursday and Friday and bring him back home and feed him and bath him. A complete stranger!!! I mean isn't one complete stranger babysitter enough for one poor little baby. In case you can't tell I am a little begrudged by the lack of support the in laws have shown us. Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Oh, Hello. I honestly don't know how much more non-sleep one person can endure. It's getting ridiculous. Last night not only did it take me two hours to get the baby to sleep. But then he woke up at 10 pm, midnight, 2 am, and again at 5:30am...did he go back to sleep after that? That would be a big fat NO! Oh my God. Why won't he sleep? What I am doing that is enabling him to keep waking up? I don't give him bottles in the middle of the night, I don't use cold wipes when or if I change him, I don't know what else to do about this non-sleeping bull. It is wearing thin on my nerves. I start a new business in less than 2 weeks and he is going to be going to babysitter. You know what is sad? On one hand I am going to miss him during the day and the other hand says run, go to work, now, yesterday, leave him with the sitter...I can't stand getting him down for naps or putting him to bed and the hubby isn't much better at, in fact it takes him longer which is just annoying because most the time I have to go in and get in to sleep after he's had enough of it. So it is almost pointless to ask him to do it at all when I just have to go in there in the end anyways. Today is not a cheery day in blog world for me. Today I am tired and wee bit cranky at my life. Today I am going to go back to sleep with Daxon as soon as we eat breakfast. I feel like death I am so tired every frigging day. It has to start getting better, doesn't it..he's 15 months old for God sakes!

over and out.
later.

It's Been a Long Time...

So It has been a while since I have had the time or motivation to blog on here. Sorry. Kinda. Well Anyways, the point is a lot has happened. We own a house now, Daxon can actually sleep in his own little toddler bed from 7 pm until sometimes as late 2am...HUGE improvement. I cut him off nursing when he turned one, Thank God. Now I am working with an older friend of mine that will be renovating her home to accommodate a 2 person hair studio which I am very excited about. It will just be me and her and we love each other so it should be great. Daxon, on the other hand, probably wont find it so great. He will be going to the babysitters for at least 3 days a week. On the up side the girl I found has a daughter his age and she lives only 2 doors down from where I will be working so i feel pretty lucky about that. We have trial runt he babysitter for an hour and half one day while i had to help with some wedding party hair down the road at my friends place. He did well. He started to cry 20 minutes after we left and only lasted for about 5 to 10 minutes and then he was fine. When my boyfriend picked him up he was happily playing with the little girl so all was well in my mind. I hope it all works out and he is happy there. Halloween was a blast he was a puppy and we only did a few houses close to us in the subdivision here so he could have the experience you know. So that's about all that new. There you have it. Things are starting to look up and i couldn't be any more thankful for it.

Cya.
