SAHM....

Sometimes life changes and your ready for it, sometimes life changes and feel unprepared and scared, sometimes life changes and you rise to the occasion! I had to do all three of those things recently. After getting out of the CG I had it in my mind that I was going back to work. I have had a job since I was sixteen. I enjoy working, making money, and feeling important. During my senior year of high school I worked two part time jobs. I was prepared to exit the CG, I was over worked and under appriciated. I was done. I applied to starbucks to work nights. Tom didn't want me working because due to the high cost of daycare i would have to work nights and we would rarely see eachother. I felt as if it where my duty for our family for me to work. I recieved a call back and after setting up a way for my kiddos to be watched for the extra hour called the maneger back, she said if she still had a position she would let me know... I never heard back from her and I didn't bother calling because even though I thought working was the way to go at first I decided I would stay at home with my kids. I am happy to say it is difficult in other ways then working. Is it harder then working, no. Is it easier then working... maybe. Is it more rewarding then working... um... YES!!! Watching my beautiful babies grow is the most wonderful thing I could ever ask for!!! My life may have turned crazy topsy tervy but I LOVE IT!!

Yay! I'm so happy you can be a SAHM! Both you and your kiddos are going to be SO grateful for that :-). And a huge "YAY" for having a hubby that backs up that decision. I'm so glad Glen and I are on the same page with kids :-) {when and if that time comes :-)}.

So happy this is what you want to do! Your children will love it and it is so worth any sacrifices you may have to make!! Give kisses and hugs to Tommy and Chloe for grandma Clara!!
