Trolls...

Well, once again the website that I frequent the most was visited by trolls. And, again, I was the one getting burned. This time I was getting burned by a fellow SAHM (stay at home mom, for you newcomers to the accronym world). You're probably wondering why, right? Well, because I - a SAHM - have decided to put my baby in daycare for 2 days a week for just the summer...so far. It's *MY* decision to make, and I HAD to do it.

I LOVE being with my baby. I LOVE my baby. But I CANNOT take her with me to all of my doctors appointments. Now that she's crawling, it's impossible to keep an eye on her and have my braces worked on and such. It kills me to put her in daycare, but it's only for a couple of days a week. It'll be good for us both. She'll get to interact with other little ones, and I'll have the freedom to take my time at the quack dr.'s offices to get treated.

It's been 8 mths. since she's been born, and in these last 8 mths. I've had to cancel or re-schedule NUMEROUS appointments because I've had no one to watch her. Andy gets sent out of town/state at a moment's notice, and every time that happens I have to cancel appointments. It's been TWO MONTHS since I've had my braces worked on, and I've come to the decision that it's time for them to go. I don't care if my teeth aren't perfect or anything. But I don't have the time right now to take proper care of them since Shadow needs me in her line of sight most of the time. *sigh* Yes, I know, I can take her into the bathroom with me while I'm flossing and all that, BUT...we haven't baby proofed the bathroom yet. Heck, we haven't baby proofed most of the house yet. Bad, I know. We have some stuff, but it's the time that we're lacking.

Anyway, for all you TROLLS out there...Byte me! I LOVE my baby. I do EVERYTHING for her, including giving up meals and showers and such just to keep her happy and entertained. Maybe you should spend a day in *MY* life. Then you'll see why I came to the decision to put her in daycare. It's tough, and not all us SAHM's are as perfect as you. You may have family and friends who are able to watch your little one(s) at the drop of a hat, but I don't. And as much as I love my daughter, my health is important. Andy and Reyna need a happy and healthy wife/Mama.

*peace!*
