Thankfully, the drugs are working and I have been virtually migraine free for almost 3 days. I've accepted a job a web editor at EYES IN Magazine, an up and coming magazine from New York. My boss is a doll, what a great person! I like my job, it's a lot of work but the income is appreciated. I take care of the content on the website, maybe sometime later I will be more involved with the magazine, but I like doing the online stuff. Kyle's job has slowed, and my anger surrounding that business has started to subside. I was mad about retiring from being a doula, it made me look bad to jump in and out of that profession so quickly. But we all have to do what is right for the family, and my days are not numbered as a birth assistant. When my children are grown, I can go back to baby catching another time!
Emily is in the terrible twos! I hate to use the word terrible to describe my child, but sometimes I think she's lost her mind! The throwing things, tantrums and hitting can drain a mother. Plus I hate always putting her in time out. I think it's getting better. She is still loving and sweet, she just has her sour moments......daily. As the Duggar's say: Praise your children 10 times more than you correct them. She will be 3 in July....we are already planning our first fun vacation with her to the Dells the following year. We'll be 4 days 3 nights in Ames this June. It will be nice to show her our old stomping ground, as she hasn't been there since she was an infant. We're less than a month away from our 6 year anniversary, which is pretty good considering how people are these days.
That's all for now! Hope to continue feeling well and writing more!
