ashley does daycare

Do you remember when I wondered... out loud... whether I would go back to work?  I don't think I ever, for a second, seriously thought I could do it.  and I'm not going to.  how could I ever leave them.

instead... I'm doing daycare.

I'm doing it.

don't try to convince me not to.

my mind is made up

Two babies are wonderful and by caring for two more we will be able to keep up with our life... financially speaking.  I want to take in two.  I would love to take in two the same age as our girls.  In a perfect world I will take in twins.

So I am starting to research, to plan and to mentally draw pictures of what this will all look like.

The girls are only five months old so I still have more than half of my maternity leave to work things out.

do I need a name? will the main play room take over the office or will it be in the basement? what colour should we paint this room?  what furniture should we buy?  how will I get them to the park every day?  will we go on outings other than the park?  what will I feed them?  where will they sleep?  will our girls actually be on a nap schedule at that point?

we need more books.

operation daycare is now in session... you may think I'm crazy

... I kind of sort of think that I will love it.
