The Moment of Truth- SAHM or Working Mom


How does my little one make this decision difficult?
1- He sleeps at night
2- He smiles at me in the morning
3- Nothing makes me happier than curling up next to him during nap time
4- I get a chance to cook! (don't really cook when I get home at 5:30PM)
5- I love the mommy groups I attend

I don't want to miss his firsts. I don't want to miss his first word, his first steps and I don't want him to get it confused. . . I am mommy!!! Also that first day I leave him is going to be the hardest of all. He has been with me everyday since he was born. When I go to the store or anywhere he comes with me! My husband gave me the option to go back to work in April which I would LOVE but I have to go back.

Why I have to go back to work?
1- I need a new car and putting down for a house
2- Must keep paying those school loans
3- Saving up for our trip to Canada in September

Hmm. . . thought this list would be longer. It is difficult because I have yet to look for nannies which they are very pricey. $700 a week! Ouch! I am not making that much. So, how can I get what I want which is:

1- Still at home
2- Working
3- Getting a new car
4- Still able to pay bills
5- Contributing for money for a house.

Good thing I wrote this down here because I am really thinking I might want to stay at home but I still need some sort of income. When I find a solution I will definitely let you know since I know the answer.

How could I possibly leave that?

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
