Nothing to really say. The title says it all. What an adventure last night was either vomiting or nursing my 5.5 month old back to sleep.
I feel gross….
We bought our dream home this year. But the landscaping leaves much to be desired.
This weeping blue cedar is probably 20 years old and I swear was never pruned.
Is there hope of saving this tree and shaping it?
The trunk is HUGE. Trying to get a quote for removal as well…
If we got rid of the tree, what should we put here? The right side of our porch is a concrete driveway.
Edit:
You all have changed my mind!
Plan is to make a proper tree bed with cardboard and mulch ASAP, wait to do any trimming until early winter (except some minor trimming immediately to get under the tree to mulch). And do some nice landscaping in early fall.
Hopefully there will be a nice before and after pic in a year!
My 5.5 month old started daycare on Monday. We were waiting for an in home daycare to open up a spot, as I know the people who run it and trust them.
The transition has been harder than I thought. Day 1 and 2 I was fine, baby was glassy eyed on day 1, probably from exhaustion.
Day 3, I started a really crazy work schedule. I basically see her for a half hour in the mornings and a half hour after daycare for the next 10 days. It was bad timing with the start of this temporary schedule and daycare.
This morning my baby was just so upset. I spent the time I could cuddling her, and it broke my heart. It’s getting harder each day I send her there.
My work is wonderful and extremely accommodating. I like what I do, but it’s not a normal 9-5 job. The schedule isn’t terrible, but I do wish I would have picked a different career path in college.
We don’t have family here (we live 600 miles away.) and we live in a HCOL area. I’m really debating becoming a SAHM. Or asking my work to allow me to do contract work just to stay in the field, which they may be open to. We are lucky to have a paid off home. I was very career driven prior to the birth, and now work just is so unimportant compared to spending time with my family.
TLDR: baby started daycare. I’m really struggling. I just want to watch my child grow up, and be there for them. I love my job, but I’d much rather be at home.
