A Continuation of Rambles

I cannot believe how much time has passed between blog posts. Kinda sad, right? Things are a little hectic with a toddler, so I don’t take much time for personal matters. My blog posts have gotten rather sparse.

Let me see if I can recap the past 6-12 months' occurrences a bit...

I actually considered the whole stay-at-home mom thing, but realized that it wasn’t for me. When my son was three months old, I returned to work in academia in the field of program coordination. Dr. S gave me the opportunity to work from home and go to campus occasionally for meetings and events. It was exhausting, but wonderful. Whenever my son become mobile, it was no longer a realistic option. At that point (which was about six months ago), I came to a crossroads with work and personal life. While I enjoyed being at home with M, I also enjoyed the adult interactions at work. I made the decision to go to the office three days a week and arranged for in-home care for M.

The set-up worked well for a while until M’s in-home care provider changed. He was no longer getting the interaction, socialization, etc. that he needed. It became difficult for me to not worry about him while at work, so I chose to put M in daycare. It is week three of daycare and, aside from the bugs he’s had, he has adjusted rather well. My son is a social toddler, so he enjoys the interactions and structured activities of daycare.

For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you've probably caught a glimpse at our daily occurrences. Sorry I temporarily lost touch in the blogosphere.
