13 weeks, 91 days, 2184 hours...

So, I tried blogging yesterday.  Got the whole thing typed out and finished and when I hit publish, my laptop froze up and shut down.  So that was that.  I flipped the screen down and put it away.  It wasn't that great of a daily blog anyhow, more like a guilt forced one because I hadn't written one in a little over a week.  It basically was about April break last week and how busy it was here. 

Carrying on...

I have 13 weeks left of being a Daycare owner/operator.  That's 91 days, 2184 hours, 131,040 minutes, and 7,862,400 seconds.  But really, who's counting?!?! 

In all complete honesty and fairness, I do love what I do.  I love what I was given the opportunity to do and feel blessed beyond words that I have become so successful at it.  However, I feel it's time to move forward. 

Some things I'll miss:

Belly laughing babies
Preschooler 'language'
Snuggling
Happy faces
Playing all day
Trips to the playground
Hearing their little voices holler my name
Hearing about their days at school
Trips to the beach
Hearing them say "I love you" and knowing they mean it
Craft time
Their feet coming up the stairs
Friendships formed with parents of my littles



Some things I'm not so sure I'll miss:

A constantly messy house
Things getting broken and destroyed
Crying fits
Attitude
Early mornings/late evenings
Not getting paid consistently
Sick littles
Hearing their little voices holler my name
Grocery shopping for 10
Being stuck in the house/working from home
Never having alone time
Fighting/tattling


Some things I look forward to:

Adult conversation/interaction
Family time
Focusing on my boy
Getting my cosmetology license
Being out of the house
Dressing nicely
Focusing on my relationship
Different scenery
Change of pace
Alone time



I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot.  Just know that as refreshing as this move will be, it's just as hard.  I'm beyond excited for the next chapter!!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a baby eating chalk in the next room...
