The same old quandary

It's November. I really can't put off this decision much longer. I must start looking for daycare for Emily, and it's breaking my heart to realize this. Travis and I had a long talk about it on the way back from a Halloween party (a few pictures are posted on our google site - cutest Jack-o-lantern ever!). I guess, I talked and Travis listened supportively. I am "cursed" with the fortune of a husband who is fine with whatever I decide, and a financial situation that doesn't dictate what I need to do. Since I've never worked part-time before, how am I supposed to know if I'll be satisfied doing that? And, another thing with finding day care for Emily is that if it doesn't work for me to do part-time work at Deere, then I'll stay home and it's a wasted effort, so there's another reason that I want to put it off.

Would somebody just tell me what I need to do, already?? :)

The Halloween party was really fun. I have such creative friends!! The costumes were all really clever - except for mine, which wasn't a costume at all because I'm too lame to come up with anything. It was great to get out and be social, though. And, Iowa State actually won a football game, so it was fun to feel celebratory as well.

Also, if anybody has any ideas on how to entertain someone who cannot lift her own head and doesn't know that she has hands or feet, I'd really appreciate it. Right now my repertoire includes singing, dancing, bouncing, tummy time, looking at pictures on the wall or other fascinating objects, and walking around the house. Other ideas?? I can already tell she's not going to be so easily entertained here pretty soon.
