So I [finally] got a job. I'll be a courier driver [Independent Contractor] for TRG, with IQ as a client. I'll be doing anything from picking up lunches at homes and taking them to their person at work downtown, picking up STATS and delivering them to the 4 labs we have as customers, or doing work with law offices. I'm happy to have a job, making my own money, saving up to move out on our own after a while. While I'm excited about it, I'm nervous to leave Lennon at somebody's house that I barely know. Granted she will only be there for 6 hours a day, that is still a big chunk of time that I will have to trust somebody else with my pride and joy; trust that they will treat her as well as I do. I believe I have chosen the perfect person to watch her, Shawna. She's 28 years old, a navy vet, Early Child Psychology major [has 2 classes left until she graduates], and has two children of her own; Lily, 3, and Ty, 2.
Lennon and I went on Friday to check out their house and interview Shawna. As soon as we got there, Lennon wanted down and to explore with the her children. They are very well behaved, and super sweet children. Shawna was very easy to talk to and we shared what we expect out of each other. She lives 10 minutes away from the house, which is good for when I work on the mornings [I make my own schedule, and as of now it's going to be 8am-2pm, Monday - Friday].
I've never left Lennon with any one other than family, I'm so nervous. I'm going to be thinking about her all damn day, probably checking on her too frequently. I'm glad though that she is going to be around other children, have some social interaction. But I'm sure when I drop her off tomorrow morning [if Shawna responds to me about the change in our schedule], I'm going to be an emotional mess.
