sleeping baby

It's been a very full couple of weeks. I quit at Sydnie Mae after only working 3 weeks. I wasn't getting enough hours, nor was the pay suitable for the hours rendered. Plus, there's that uniform. So, I quit. Nicole at Joie de Vivre had been begging me to come work there for months, so I finally went over to talk to her, even though I didn't really want to. She'd been so pushy for me to come there to begin with, and I heartily dislike having my hand forced.  But, it worked out. I went in to talk to her, and I'm basically taking her position, so, we'll see how that goes. So far the money hasn't been anything to write home about, but I am working by myself, and I do enjoy that.

Eve's been having trouble getting the baby to go to sleep, so when I got home from work I volunteered to put her to bed. We read books for a little while, and then I let her cry herself to sleep. Eve has never let her cry herself to sleep, and she's going to be one on Monday. I let her go to the grocery store and visit one of our friends while I did this. It was probably for the best, because she can't stand to have the baby cry. Step one complete. Next step will be having her put the baby to sleep just letting her cry. For me it probably took 10 minutes or so of her crying, and some of it was that angry sob of "you can't make me sleep" but- she was so tired that eventually she relaxed and closed her eyes.
