I was cleaning the house today as fast as I could during Anna's nap. Somewhere during that "thinking" time, my mind wandered AGAIN to how much my life has changed since having Anna.
I was kinda grousing about not being able to go to a concert with LW today because Paul's working and I have no babysitter. So once again my mind went to thinking that pre-Anna, I'd have been able to go without even thinking about it.
I was kinda bummed about it. Though again, it's not even a concert I'd go out of my way to see on my own or anything. It's just the point that since Anna's come along, my life is not completely my own. Don't get me wrong, she's my baby girl but not a day goes by that I at least don't think SOMEHOW about how my whole life gets worked around her needs...it's not wrong, it's just the case. It's the case for all parents.
I looked out the kitchen window while I was rinsing my sponge and saw a pretty organge butterfly perched on the flowers right outside our window.
MY first thought: Anna should see this!

Babysitter-Three words. Gimmie A Break. Oh, and the concert/rodeo was fun. Oh, and there is always Tami to help out when she isn't taking your place because you can't go!!
Tami is right. I am sure there are a couple of babysitting options available for you. I think somewhere subconsciously you want to stay home with your daughter. That's the way I am, I would much rather spend sometimes boring time with my family.
