sylvia and i start 'moms in motion' classes next week. they start at 10 am which means sylvia and i will need to get up and dressed much earlier than we are accustomed. it will probably be good for us. the classes were recommended to me by my neighbor who said that when she went, her group formed a playgroup which lasted for a few years. that's the kind of thing we could use.
it is really odd for me to face switching peer groups. h_postmortemus and i have discussed our pickiness with friends and we decided we might have been just plain spoiled by vax. now, if i could meet a mom of a small child who's a sci-fi fan and likes to play sheepshead, i'd be in love.
i know at some point, sylvia will need more than i can provide. i am no early childhood educator. but right now, she is no small there is no one i could trust to take care of her. my neighbor (two kids and a montessori teacher to boot) has idly mentioned she would not mind taking sylvia for an evening and we may take her up on it once we've got the whole feeding thing down. a lot depends on the quality and price of daycare. i don't love work so much that i'm willing to work just to send sylvia to daycare.
thanks for the support on the job front. i got another mini-assignment from the temp place and it's ridiculous how nervous i get. running to the next town for an hrs work is not worth it in some ways, but every bit counts. i need to keep busy. somewhere around the 6 month mark, i'm hoping to have a better idea of what to do the next year or so.
