My Sorta Vacation

For the month of July I have decided to kinda take a break and only work one shift a week instead of two, but still take Preston to daycare for the two days (because he's already on the two day plan and it's automatically deposited from my paycheck anyway). So last week on my day off I did some yard work, clothes shopping, took a nap, and cleaned. This week I met up with Allison (and Caleb--her baby) for lunch and had to do a skills lab at work and I then had time to do a little cleaning up and relax. It's been really nice! But it's weird when Preston's not with me because I keep thinking he's with me--ya know? Like when I'm driving I wonder why he's so quiet, but then realize he's not there...when I was out shopping I noticed I was kinda rushing around, and then realized I COULD slow down...and when at home I'm not used to NOT having to watch him as he is discovering and trying to get into everything. Having a little break is nice for me and unexpectedly is helping me realize how much I love being a mom!
