Some days all I can think about is clearing out of there. But it still seems as if having someone sifting through the rubbish over there is a good idea. Maybe I just haven't been looking closely enough. I wonder sometimes whether I've missed loads of bits and bobs we could've used if I'd just been clever enough or careful enough to have caught them.
I've been thinking along the same lines as you're suggesting, only if I complain about my childminder, we're likely to have the Muggleborn placement people out, questioning El and poking into our business again. So. I've actually been thinking I might just tell them that now Bea's a year and a half, we've decided it's time to try for a second baby and that if I'm to be a good mum, I'll need to be staying home from here on.
I haven't run that idea by Remus or Sirius yet, though. And I'm not sure how they'd either of them feel about it.
Not that we'd actually try for another baby. Not the three of us, anyway.
And I don't really think I'd be interested in finding someone else to help me along that way, but I have wondered sometimes if it's really fair to Bea to leave her an only child. And if I'm honest, I'd have to admit I sometimes think that I might like to have another. I mean, I was an only, and it would have been nice to have had sisters or brothers. Especially after Mum and Dad were gone.
I don't know. For now it's just something to maybe tell the Ministry so they don't think too much about why I'm leaving if I do decide to go.
