Dad’s are great

May 7th, 2006

I am off yet again, it’s so great only working 3 days a week, I am considering getting a second job at a “medical spa” basically I will zap varicose veins and laser off hair and stuff like that, it sounds really fun actually, I will work one day a week and they pay really well, I think I am going to wait until I am done breastfeeding because the less days I have to pump the better!!!

It’s nice when Brandon and I have a day off together, Aiden slept in this morning too which was great. I love that my husband is such a great dad, since we both work full time Brandon gets a nice share of caring for Aiden. When I was growing up my dad worked full time and my mother stayed home with all of us, so naturally she did all the housework and most of the childrearing. I don’t have the luxury of staying home, so I am fortunate enough to have a very supportive husband who does a lot for me and really cares about our son. I know that Aiden and I are very lucky to have Brandon, he is a great husband and a wonderful father.

Today Brandon and I worked on getting all our mother’s day cards written and addressed, it was fun:) Brandon told me that before we were married he would have never thought to get mother’s day cards for his mom and Grandmothers (I think it’s a girl thing). All that reminded me that this is my first “real” mother’s day, I think becoming a mother came really naturally to me (luckily since my life was very chaotic when he was born) I don’t feel that much different being a mother, except thoughts of my son’s well-being consume me 24 hours a day, but that’s ok, thinking about him is fun:) I am glad I have mother’s day off, it will be a big deal on the floor where I work. Instead I will be at home with my the two people who I love most, which is exactly how it should be (I hate trying to go out to eat on days like mother’s day, and V-day, it’s nuts!!!)

Ok so my laptop battery is dying and Aiden keeps pushing \ and ]backspac, gottaRUN
