I am going back to work (part time) starting tomorrow. I was not even looking for a job but received a phone call from Joshua's Young 5 teacher (from last year) on Wednesday. Her assistant changed jobs and they were wondering if I was interested. So, here we are 6 days later and I am back to work, eeeek!
The details are not yet worked out but they are getting there. The main issue is that I begin at 11am and Josh starts at 12. My Mom is available Mondays and Fridays to give him lunch and take him to school. Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday we are going to try to get him into a daycare for an hour. I will send his lunch and they will drive him to school. We have called 3 different places. One pretty much laughed at me for only wanting care for 3 hours a week, one has not returned my call, and the 3rd was fine with it and we are going to check them out before school tomorrow.
I have pretty much felt every emotion possible since Wednesday. I am nervous for sure, mostly about Josh. I kind of feel like I got what I wanted and now do not want it. I do want it of course but the whole daycare thing is stressing me out.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and we begin another adventure!
with him. (We have been working on a project together...putting together again the tiny kits that came in his Advent calendar from Christmas...searching for the pieces in his big tub of mixed up pieces!) I agreed and came down to sit on the floor with him. Well, I began the search and was pretty wrapped up in it when I noticed he was off having some elaborate to do with the Lego guys. 
We love the Geronimo books because they are chapter books that he can read entirely on his own. AND they are so silly, he just loves them. You need to check them out because they are pretty special. The author uses pictures and fancy print throughout the book to add fun and frivolity. I love that the stories are good clean fun and they use wonderful language throughout!
Josh's favorite! He is still VERY interested in Ancient Egypt!
There is a whole series of these by Crosby Bonsall. Super cute little mystery books about a group of boys who solve silly mysteries.
and 
These are so fun. Josh and I do these often. As the name suggests, he does the across clues which are at his level and the down clues are a bit harder intended for adults.
