I'm tired tonight. I had four clients at work, and then I came home and had to take care of Katelynn for the rest of the night. I wish that he didn't look at things as if they were all related to him. SIGH. I need to start getting more of his help around here. I need some down time too, and he doesn't seem to realize or think about it. Oh well. I don't want to start a rant here on that, but I am a little frustrated.
I found out yesterday that I have a new job which is much closer to my house. Billy will have to step up and help some more then, because I can't use my family much when I'm working close to home. This place seems to have a lot more of the values that I have. The owner doesn't want people pushed through. She wants them to have time to relax and enjoy themselves. I hate being rushed and having to cut times and such like I do where I'm working right now. I am looking forward to a new setting.

Katelynn is getting so big. She is starting to be more of a toddler and less a baby. Water is her obsession. If she doesn't get what she wants, she lays down on the floor and cries. We just tend to laugh at her and such. Throwing things is her other passion. We are really working on trying to get her to quit throwing food, but that hasn't been very helpful so far. Usually she just throws more until we take all the food away from her. SIGH. She is really starting to catch on to things. She can't figure out how to put her shoes on, but tries all the same. She loves having her shoes put on and off. IT is tiring sometimes, but very cute all the same. I love spending time with her and would not change all the time I've gotten to spend with her. I do get ready to work after a few days at home with her, but it is so I can have some contact with adults more then anything thing else.
I hope to take Katelynn to the Frederick Fair sometime this week. I don't know if it will happen, but I really hope it does. She loves animals and I want to see her face when she sees all the farm animals that she knows only through books so far. She loves looking at books and finding the animals and asking, "What's that?" I usually tell her and make the corrosponding animal noise. :) She enjoys that.
Well, I'll go for now but I hope to be back soon.

2007 was a great year for me. I became a mom for the first time, and who can ever beat that? Katelynn is the center of my life, and I'm glad that I can spent much of my time with her. When I'm not with her, she is with family or friends, and that makes my mind much more at ease. I have managed to be able to work without using Day Care, and that means everything to me. I want my daughter raised by me and my family, not some Day Care center. The best part is she is always one on one with who ever is watching her. That is great in my opinion.
The bad part is I haven't been working enough, so we are struggling financially. We are getting by, but it is tough and sometimes we have over drawn by a few dollars. I hope I begin working a bit more in the new year, but only time will tell. It would help my stress levels if this could happen. SIGH.
Katelynn is now standing, and constantly letting go of what she is holding onto. She doesn't seem to understand that she doesn't have the balance to stand on her own. It is very cute! I have been struggling to get her to eat some real food, and not just her milk. I managed tonight to dip her spoon in the sweet potatoes I was trying to feed her, give the spoon to her to hold. Most of the time, the spoon went into her mouth the correct way, and she ate the food. She was a MESS by the time we were done, but that is ok. She had some food in her, and that is the important thing in my eyes. I have pictures of her with the orange all over her face, even her eyebrow. hehe.
The next year should be interesting. I look forward to see what it will bring. I know there will be lots of wonderful moments with my daughter and husband, and that is what I'm looking forward to the most. :)
