So today, as I was doing our budget, I came across an astonishing fact. Joey and I would almost SAVE money if I didn't work. Why? Because of stupid child care costs! Now, don't get me wrong.. I love the ladies who keep Aidan, and they do an absolutely amazing job.. but, NEWSFLASH:
It takes an entire check to pay child care costs for Aidan. That doesn't include child care costs for Ansleigh (which since school has started is only $100/month). I mean, it's discouraging. I work 40 hours a week for barely more than minimum wage and only get one paycheck.
So, while classes will start for me sometime in September (registration is the first week of September), I'm actually considering staying at home (again). Don't think I don't love my job... but the way things are going right now it seems like the most logical explanation. Who knows what will happen... I'm just brainstorming. :)
On a different topic, though, we have been so busy! Joey & I painted ALL weekend long! Aidan's room is completely finished, Aidan & Ansleigh's bathroom is done, and Ansleigh's room just needs one more coat of paint! We have gotten a lot done, but we have oh so much more to do!
