My very own blog

This is crazy, I cannot believe I am actually blogging for the first time. WOW I've come a long way from being a pretty much technically challenged mom of two in the burbs. We moved to a suburb of Atlanta last year, let's just call it 'perfectville' where it seems all the moms stay home and all the dads have super important jobs. The moms all play tennis, have playdates and carpool. And all the dads coach some sort of sport in every season of the year.
It has been a transition for this city girl. My husband drug me kicking and screaming out of our intown home. But he was right, we needed a yard and a good school district. Private was no longer an option with a second one on the way.
So we researched schools and found some lovely ones to choose from, hired and agent and began looking. We found our dream home that was move in ready in a week, and we landed in perfectville.
After a short time in perfectville, I realized it may not be the most perfect place for a working mom. I quickly learned as I looked for a full time church school, that apparently no moms work full time in perfectville.
In Atlanta there must have been plenty of working moms because all of the church school programs ran from about 7 am to 6 pm, not so in perfectville. In perfectville, church schools ran from 9 am to 12 pm, just enough time for moms to drop off, grab a cup of joe and head to the gym or their doubles match. And if you were really lucky you could find a spot in a program that was for more than 3 days a week and had a lunch hour from 12-1. But what mom would want to drop off their little joe or precious patty five days a week for three hours a day?
So we had a choice, quit my job or hire someone to come to the home and take care of the kids.
Quitting my job was appealing for various reasons I will not go in to. But did I mention we just bought our dream house? On two incomes. Quitting now would be financially impossible at least for the first couple of years, but we would keep looking a this option.
We hired a nanny to come to the home, which has actually been alot easier on me and my hubby. A lot easier to not worry about getting the kids dressed and drive them to school. Some times they sleep in and I only have to feed and clothe myself in the mornings. I label these dream days.
