Good Mommy

My Update!

The last two weeks I had been working 10 hr shifts (to cover my day off for trevor's wedding) and hadn't had much time with Akayla. This week I've am back onto my regular schedule. Here is what's been happening in my world. On Monday, when I returned to work, I (and the rest of the Corporate staff) recieved a letter from our CEO in regards as to what is happening with the company and what the future holds. Currently we're not looking so hot because of the drop in the realestate market and banks not dishing out loans as generously. In his letter he states that there will be a few changes in the company, Lay offs and the possiblity of even selling the company. So this got me thinking.... I've already been budget figuring with me going on maternity leave next month, but it occured to me that if they needed to lay someone off in the "corporate office", I may just volunteer. Being a stay at home mommy would be a dream come true for me. After overlooking finances, I doesn't seem too practical and I would at least need to keep working PT, and if my current job would let me do that, it would be perfect. We'll see what happens.

Ok anyways, With this stay at home mommy business it got me thinking that I need to do more "fun" things with Akayla. (NO MOVE MOVIES/TV) So far everyday this week, we have done something out doors and different.




Monday, we went to the library (that was a fun experience) Akayla naturally realized how quite it was in there and figured she'd get the party started with her yelling.









Tuesday, it finally occured to me that there was a flat grassy area in the middle portion of our driveway hill that has been recently constructed. So Akayla and I grabbed the bottles of bubbles and we sat there and blew bubbles for a while. It was fun and relaxing. It also gave me the chance to work on my tan.



Wednesday, I discovered that the Forest Park between Everett and Mukilteo, has a Water Playground. After work I swung by the apt and picked up our swim suits and Akayla and I went and splashed around. It was a perfect day and the water wasn't too freezing. It was nice to spend the time with her. Here she is splashing around. The water totally nailed her in the face. Crack me up!



Today, we will probably do bubbles again on the hill and tomorrow, depending on weather, we'll have to show Keidy the water park. Fun stuff. I've got to admit Akayla has been much happier this week. I think she's really enjoying her mommy time. I want to give her as much of it as I possibly can right now before Baby Shayla comes. :-)
