It's been a week of trying to get out of the starting blocks on this project I have been working on-again off-again. Phase 1 was vetting vendors for a client and Phase 2 will be to do a software implementation for them. Only the client's CFO and the vendor had a disagreement and couldn't get a contract signed.
None of this would affect me much one way or the other except that for Phase 2 I will need full-time child care as I will need to be in the client's office and not working from home. Last week I began researching childcare options.
After calling around, I discovered that a daycare center was not going to be an option because they want a year contract. I found an in-home child care provider a few blocks from our apartment willing to go week-by-week. Olivia and I paid her a visit; very nice woman, watches a few kids Olivia's age, somehow keep the place immaculate. As we began talking I mentioned that Olivia had never been watched by anyone but family and then suddenly, surprisingly was in tears.
I really do feel ready to return to work but I suppose I am going to have to reconcile that it won't be without a measure of regret at leaving Olliepop with someone. Anyway, if Phase 2 gets going, it will only be for a couple weeks. Enough time for me to play dress up and go downtown to an office.
Last week I had a lunch meeting with the CFO and Aaron told me to stay in the city afterward if I wanted to take some time for myself. Only trouble is, I am so unused to wearing heels and a bra that after my meeting I raced home to change! Whodathunk? All the adjustments.
