Babysitter

We have found someone to come to the apartment once a week for a couple hours so I can run errands or whatever my heart desires.

The process of finding someone to watch Miss M was a bit daunting. I found a few people and interviewed them not having much of an idea about what to ask them. I hired two of them but found that after thinking about it a little more one made me feel much more comfortable than the other. She has come over once a week for only two weeks and I love her.

She seems to be really good with Miss M. Today she even got her to sleep after she fussed around in her crib for awhile. She's patient and interactive. She doesn't watch tv and usually makes fun of me for watching so much tv and Miss M's obsession with remotes!

One of her references called me back last night and raved about how much she meant to their family and then wanted to give me numerous examples of why they loved her so much. It was a wonderful phone call and a nice reassurance we have someone special for Miss M to love and be loved by.

Here's a picture that she took today as she recognizes that Miss M loves phones and pictures of herself.




Today I just went to the gym since I am hesitant still to get too far away and it's been so gross this week we haven't gotten out for many walks. My run was tough. I was barely able to run two miles. There was a time when I ran much more than that on a regular basis. The feeling of being out of shape is not a good feeling. But it's nice to know I am not out of shape for no reason. Miss M makes being out if shale and the process of getting back in shape a little easier to swallow.
