Taking a GIANT leap!

yes that is right I'm taking a giant leap of faith here. I just hired "3" babysitters. Ok so not 3 all at once, but 3 sisters in hopes that I won't need to struggle to find a sitter again. Now that Avery is older I feel I can leave him. I have struggled with this for a while and so far all I've been able to leave him with his my mom, sister, and mil(mother in law). To bad my mil, is too "busy" so I've had to hire outside help. I know my mom would in a heartbeat, but she lives 30 mins away, same as my sis and they both work.

So I hired the sisters from church that know Avery and see them every week. They do really well with him while we are there and he loves them. I called tonight told them a couple dates and their mom called back and said that they could. (I don't have a preference as to who does what) The youngest is 15(i think). The bonus: I don't have to pay them $10/hr!! As this seems to be the going rate. I just can't afford that kind of money and I don't even get that watching a kid 40 hours a week. Their mom said to pay whatever and I said I would at least pay gas money(the 2 oldest drive) she said that is fine. I struggle with this as I know I don't want to be cheap, but 2 hours avery will be sleeping, so I don't feel $10 is worth it. I know they are just glad to get some extra cash and plus they love avery and he is a happy go lucky kid.

Next week is the first night(10th). Keith and I have to take a cpr course(yay...not) and then the youngest will stay with Avery so we can go out for our anniversary in July. Its about time I enjoy life a little bit with my husband again. Its not that I dont' want to spend time with my sweet baby boy, but I need adult time too. Something I have been lacking A LOT lately! Might make me a "happier" mom.
