We have a friend who occasionally needs temp help at his job doing some piece-wise work. Very easy work, not a lot of thinking, and if you're quick then you can make a pretty good amount of money! He called and said that they had some CD's that needed stuffing... and since i have ninja lightening hands I told Gaetan I would go to work instead of him. Thursday's are one of his long days... he goes in a 8 and doesn't get out til 7! We did some calculating to see how many I would have to do in order to make the same amount he did in his day. I luckily did mine in 8 hours and he got to spend the day with Bugga. It was also good because he got to stay home from work and hopefully give his voice a rest! He lost it when he started getting sick and it still hasn't fully returned.
I think Bugga enjoyed the change of pace. He plays extra hard with Papa and it showed! He took a 4 hour nap! They played for a really long time outside though because the weather was so nice. I'm so grateful that I have a Papa that likes staying home and playing with his son :)
Even though the work I was doing wasn't very demanding physically, or mentally, I was sure glad to be home at the end of it. My hats off to women who work while they're pregnant, and for those who make it work as a single parent. I missed Bugga something fierce while I was stuffing CD's... but knew he was well taken care of!
Today I went over to my parents to help them de-clutter and reorganize some of the stuff that the kids have left behind. They are so gracious to let us store things at their house that we don't immediately need... but then they have a lot of our junk to deal with when they want to do something. They ordered the stuff for the hardwood floors so those should be in before we move in! Things are starting to come together :)
