I should definitely be sleepiing, but old habits die hard. Amelia is next to me, sleeping. She gets bigger every day. She is starting to track movement with her big, brown eyes. I was very excited when Matthew noticed she followed him when he moved out of her line of vision. I bought her a little gym because she needs stimulation. We both need stimulation. We're going to go for a walk tomorrow. She's making more noises and smiles a little bit more deliberately. I love her more everyday.
I go back to work the first week of August. I was not looking forward to it, was considering even leaving, untl I finally spoke to Lindsey. I remember Chris telling me that I should read up on my rights and all that because she had told him that she wasn't sure if she could keep my position for me. Which I told him right when I got pregnant. She has every right to demote me because of FMLA law. There isn't enough people so my job is not guaranteed. Well. She did give away my 40 hour position. BUT. At SEE, 32 to 40 hours is considered full time. Lindsey offered me the 32 hour position, giving me an extra day off to be with the baby. Everything stays the same except for that. I was very excited. I told her that I would love that much better. If I could, I would work Thursday through Sunday. I would work mid or closing Thursday and Friday and whatever shifts on the weekend. Babysitting problems solved! Oh I hope it works out that way. That would be heavenly. I am not dreading my return as much as I was before. Lindsey granted me my extra week off. It is without pay but I don't care. I managed to stretch my PTO the whole maternity leave and I got paid in full PLUS I was receiving disability. That worked out in my favor so one week without pay isn't going to hurt very much. Lindsey told me that I have 9 hours left of PTO. DANG. I went from almost 200 hours to 9! Crazy. I never used my PTO for ANYTHING. And boom. Worked out.
I've got some bipolar issues about Willie. I'm not going to work myself up about them right now. Just a statement. I'll reflect on it later because if I get it out, I'll probably feel better.
But for now, I'm going to follow Ms. Indiana Rose to dreamland.
