Weekly Gratitude

• I am grateful that NYSC offers babysitting! Why, oh why did it take me so long to realize this?? I first found out they charge $5/hour which is SO inexpensive! Most babysitters around here charge $15/hour and will only agree to come if you guarantee 2-3 hours minimum!! But then a few days later I was told if I paid a $30 flat fee, I could come as often as I'd like. So I have been working out for an hour a day all week and I feel great. It's a win-win. I get to workout which makes me feel better, leaving me with more energy to play with Nathan and Nathan gets to play with other kids and climb all over the padded mats they line the floors with... much better than the hardwood floors he's used to falling all over.

•  I am grateful that Will got home from work early last night - an unexpected surprise which allowed Nathan some more Daddy time and me some more Mommy time :)
• I am grateful that I am going home to visit my family next week. Nathan hasn't seen my side of the family in over a month and I know they are dying to get their hands on those chubby cheeks. Plus they'll get to see him walk, the real thing is so much more fun than any video footage I send them.
