Oh, it's a working mom's life

Now that I've been back to work for a while, I am definitely remembering those days where I just want to be done work for the day. I like my new job, and I've adjusted to working from home well. It was rough at first, because even just going back to work after a year off is disorienting.. but I think I've got the hang of it now. :)

DD has adjusted well to her new daycare too, life seems to be settling down a little and less chaotic for sure. There should be a good ebb in things until November when I should find out if this job will continue. The life of a contractor sucks but at least this job has hope of becoming permanent, so that's something.

We've been busy outside of work here too. Over the last few weekends, my husband and the next door neighbours have been building a fence for our homes (townhouse). Tim has been tired and crabby because he's out of shape, and putting up a fence is a lot of work.. but I will take his crabbiness for one super awesome fence. I can now let A. play outside without having to chase her through everyone else's yard. Yay!

Our neighbours are awesome. We have a dog, and wanted to fence off the yard for A., but if we didn't actually need it, we probably wouldn't have divided the yards. Yesterday neighbour lady peeks over the fence while we're sitting there eating supper, and her husband walks in to our yard to talk about breaking up the payment for the fencing supplies. If it would have been anyone else, Tim and I probably would have been like "Wtf?", but because it's them.. it was more like "Hey, come on over." J. (neigbour lady) runs through her house to come around the other side, then they joined us for supper since we had way too much food anyway. J. is a hair dresser, and we'd been talking about her doing my hair. She had the colour for it, so after supper, she just mixes it all up, then dyes my hair outside while the guys were cutting the tops off of the fence posts. hahaha How awesome is that? She's coming back today to lop off my hair, I'm excited.

We're at a really good place in life right now. We have great neighbours, I have more friends than I've probably ever had in my life, my daughter is amazing, my husband is amazing... I'm a happy little camper.
