Back to Cheater's Lace and other stuff

I frogged my Karabella Mirage hairball yarn scarf about a week ago and started the Cheater's Lace scarf instead. The yarn did, indeed, look better! Although it did stripe up kind of strangely. I will take a picture at some point but Alex dropped my digital camera on the kitchen floor and cracked the door to the battery compartment. It is taped together with heavy duty tape but tends to time out at really inconvenient moments. Like tomorrow - the Wiggles concert! Alex is going to have a fit! At first Elizabeth was a little upset that she wasn't going. But, as my friend Conni said, "It's not like she's going to go back to first grade and tell everyone how much fun she had at the Wiggles concert!" And, to the tune of $45, I agreed. Instead, Elizabeth is going to play laser tag with her dad and I think will have a great time.

My refrigerator is fixed and I need to start going after people for returned funds on this one! It was apparently a coolant leak caused by a design flaw.

I also had a job interview and might be going back to work for about 15 hours a week. Now here's the thing - when Elizabeth was born I had the world's biggest post-partum freak out session ever. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks - you name it! A lot of it was triggered by the guilt associated with working and it honestly never went completely away. I am a little worried how I will do leaving Alex if this all comes through. He would stay with a neighbor, not a daycare center (although we had a FANTASTIC daycare experience and I would recommend a good daycare to anyone, I just can't afford it on a part time basis) and I would only be gone for about six hours total each day. It should be okay, right? He needs to get some time with other little kids, right? I am pathetically insecure about this but I'm just going to do it anyway... As long as they pay me enough money!

Anyway, both kids are over at my parents' house and I need to go sit and listen to the eerie silence now...
