In the perfect world I'd have enough money so that I did not have to work but I'd still pop by the unit once in awhile on my own accord!
Today I'm feeling quite fortunate to have the job that I do have and the flexibility that comes from having to work shift work. 2 days on and 2 nights on and 5 days off; of course the shift is 12.25 hours long but the point is the 5 days off. During my last bunch of days off I was able to do all the mum stuff that I want to do with Ben and so I feel so fortunate that I can still do that.
-went to bumblebee baby music class at one of the community centers
- had a baby play date at our pad complete with an Okiedog outing
-....and went to another play date in the burbs with lots of little ones all about
-we walked all around downtown in the rain and played at the park a few times
-and also Zipped to and fro
I even managed to squeeze in a little visit with some friends and had a pedicure and now have some shiny toes pained in Miami Beet by OPI. Pretty good days off were had and soon it will be time to start the cycle all over again.

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

Awe that is so nice that you got to go and do all those fun things. Working Mon to Fri is tough cause you only really have two set days to do anything and you need to also do all the living stuff to, like going to the grocery shop. I am sure you must hate the night shifts but in some ways it is all worth it on your days off.
