My daycare is going to France

My mother Carole has been invaluable. Unlike other single parents who pay day care facilities hundreds of dollars a week, My 74-year-old mother watches my daughter Alex almost every week day.  When my ex wife Snow is off from work she takes her.

We have a very amicable fifty-fifty arrangement on custody.  We split the nights four to three, then alternate every week.  but when i need to work, mom is there for me. when my ex works and i am also working, mom is there for her.

Thank you mom, i love you and you are so good with your granddaughter.

I mention this now, because next Wednesday September 19th, Mom is taking a holiday. Certainly a well deserved one and i am very excited for and a lil jealous of her, she is going to France!  renting a house with my sister Cheryl, my aunt Kathleen, and my cousin Amelia.  the four of them will tour around Europe on rail passes from a central France house rental home base.

So, I have got this. 11 days with my daughter. Oh, sure, Snow will be off work for some of those 11, perhaps as many as 6 or 7, and can take her. I am sure it will be more like 4 or 5.  I can go on appts or to the office from 9 am to 1 pm, on days I have Alex all day. Otherwise working will be all done at home where i am simultaneously watchiug over Alex.

Here's hoping it goes smoothly and some work at least gets done.

I enjoy spending time with Alex, i love her and would never complain, I am gonna be flexible about work and get as much done as i can.  This will be fun too, i will find it an adventure.

need to pick up the pace my man.

I do not blog enough. It's like I don't journal. I am afraid I will look back and think, what have I got to show for my life? My writing could have been something to be a window on my life, my life's experiences.

Now I think I need to get in the habit of writing. maybe a paragraph here, a paragraph there.

Or maybe i should just write on the day whatever is on my mind.

Feelings of jealousy and envy wash over me when i see more prolific bloggers who put out, in their own spare time, not for money or career their thoughts and opinions.

I pledge to do better.  I need to spend more time on it.

Lets make myself proud! You rock, Scott!!
