Success

So for the first time in days I can breathe through my nose! Yipeee....the bad part is that I slept for like 16 hours in the last 24 and now it is 1:30 in the morning and I can't fall asleep! Whew! I have made some changes to my blog so that other people can comment and other little things that I have been meaning to do for a while now. Also, a friend of mine from high school just starting blogging and I am super excited about that!
I am about to start looking for a job....ughhhh! We could really use the extra income, but I just dont want to do it. I had a dream that my old boss called and said she wa starting the foundation up again and that she needed me back....too bad it was just a dream. See I used to have this really great job where I got to work from home and made good money, but my boss dissolved the foundation when her parents got sick and now there is no more job. I would love to find another stay at home job...but I am skeptical of things found on the internet. When I was pregnant with Logan I thought I could sell Mary Kay, because I would be at home most of the time, but that never really worked. I learned that I am not a salesman, I dont have the ability to talk someone into buying something they dont want...in fact it makes me uncomfortable! Like the people at the mall kiosks...the ones that get your attention by practically jumping out at you and then want you to come try their product and then sell it to you....I could never do that. I really just want something I can do over the computer or over the phone, without having to sell something or hassle people!
So far I have had no luck finding something like this. I am also not looking for a full time job, which I guess is good...I dont know. Anyway, I just need to find some part time work, that doesn't require me to put Logan in daycare everyday for 8-9 hours a day. I would like to find a daycare that he can go to maybe 3 times a week (MAX) for just a few hours a day. I think that daycare is really good for kids, and I think Logan is at an age that playing with others and some other basic behavioral skills would be really good for him. I just dont want to overload him too quickly... Maybe a couple of hours at first, then a couple of days, and before you know it...BAM! My other issue with daycare (on the flip side) is that I dont want to go to work just to make enough money to pay for daycare....what is the point. That has been my issue from day 1 and it is still there. Why get a job that pays 1000/month and spend 800 on daycare? THe other 200 wouldn't even cover the cost of gas to daycare--to work--back to daycare--home! Anyway...I am still stuck with this, which is why I said I would get a part time job and take things slow! We will see!
The other part of the success is that Logan did pretty well for his first day of time out! We had some issues with him staying in the corner...and he will NOT face the corner, but I quickly learned to put him facing the corner, step away, with my back to him and just wait out the two minutes with him. It doesn't stop him from crying, but at least he doesn't run away! Tomorrow, I am going to take two steps away from him! Eventually I am hoping to tell him he is in time out and he will just go...We'll see! I can tell it is making an impact on him though. After each time out he comes and gives me a hug, as if to say that he is sorry. I tell him what he did and why it isn't acceptable...quick short words, not a long drawn out explanation. "When you throw and fit, you go to time out!" By the end of the day if he started to throw a fit, I would tell him no and mention time out, and he would stop! YAY! Not that I want to go around threatening my kid all the time but at least it gets him to think about consequences. I just have to figure out how to handle this situation in public!!!!
Any advice???
