Babysitter

I took this picture Sunday during church when I took Ellie out to change her diaper. 

That was the first of three times we had to go out.  Poor girl was not having a good day.  We ended up leaving church early because our sweet girl was screaming at the top of her lungs and wouldn't stop.  She was extremely fussy all day, but was not running a fever.  I finally gave her some tylenol just to see if that would help.  Sleep came quickly after that and we had to wake her up to feed her so we could put her down for the night.  She slept all night and woke up Monday morning her normal self.  Praise the Lord!

Monday was our first day at the babysitter.  It went well.  I cried when I dropped her off and even more when I picked her up.  She was sleeping when I got there to pick her up and when I lifted her up, she snuggled right up to me.  I started crying because I felt bad that I had left her with a stranger all day.  Our babysitter is not a stranger.  We met with her for several interviews and checked all of her references, but to Ellie she is a stranger.  This working mom thing is tough.  I'd love to be able to stay home!  But, since I can't teaching is a pretty great gig!  I have 32 days left of school then I'll be hanging out with my girl every single day!  Can't wait!

I need to update about my weekend.  Ellie and I met one of my bloggie friends, Deni from Foxy Troxies.  We had a wonderful day!  More on that in the next post.  I need to upload some pics before I can write about it.  But you can go to Deni's blog to read about it in the meantime! 

Have a great week friends!
