SAHFM

i didn't even know SAHM was an abbreviation, but it is. it means stay at home mom. i'm a stay at home foster mom as of noon today. because of daycare funding no longer being available and having 2 kiddos now to daycare, we've decided to just let me live my dream and stay at home completely with the kids. today was scary and wonderful. it feels so nice to be "free" in a sense of a go-to-work job. but scary in a wow-i-no-longer-make-an-income sense. sweet pea LOVES it though. i think she could tell this morning because she did not want to get dressed and i actually had to wrangle her to get dressed to get to work/school today. her teacher cried today when i went to pick her up. i told her we'll have her come a couple days next week moreso to help wean her teacher, moreso than her. it is really sweet to know that she was so loved by so many people at daycare. now i just have to get some idea books and get a schedule down pat. sweet pea does much better when she knows exactly what is going to happen next so the sooner i can get her on a schedule the better she'll do. today i noticed she was standing (wanting to jump) on the arms of the couches and realized if i was on super nanny the first thing she would tell me is that sweet pea is bored so...i'd better get to crackin' on keeping ahead of her.
