I feel like I am back at square one trying to figure out the best time to grow our family. Precious Miracle has not been feeling well all week and she was especially needy today. We skipped Story Time because she was sounding terrible and I just didn't feel like explaining myself in response to the dirty looks from other mothers. We should have gotten out of the house on what turned out to be a beautiful spring day. But with a fever of 99.9, a runny nose and a mood all too cranky, we stayed inside until Daddy came home. Thankfully, she gave me a 2+ hour nap but woke up more miserable than she went down. Lucky me. I feel funny even saying that because I am lucky. Lucky that she is capable of being such a little stinker, full of mischief and free will. At the same time, today, being one of THOSE days, spurred me to look into a preschool program for two year olds for the fall... THIS FALL! This was never part of my "Mommy Plan".
This whole thought makes me question my commitment to being a "stay at home mom". Is placing my child in a preschool program at the age of two a contradiction to my title? Does it somehow lessen my "stay at home" status? And, if I am ready to pawn Precious Miracle off for six hours of freedom per week, am I really ready to have another child?
