Thank the good Lord!!!

You know, I've had the opportunity to work full time and make more money for my family, but it's days like Monday and yesterday that make me realize, I'll have plenty of time to work one day!  Now, in this moment of life, my babies need me to be there as much as I can and it's less stressful knowing that I work part-time and have options to be at the "special" events that go on!  Now that both of my boys are in school, things are popping up left and right and thank the good Lord, I'm in a position to be there.  Before becoming a mother, that was one thing I prayed for and knew that one day I'd want to be a part of as many events that I could.  I'm thankful that I'm not the bread winner of my household, that my husband has a wonderful job, and provides for our family so that my money can be used for "fun" things!  I've thought very hard about being a SAHM, I'm not afraid to say this, but I'm not cut out to do that!  I worked from home for 7 years and even that drove me batty, so I have to be out doing something away from the house for a short period of the time during the week?!?!  It just helps me feel so much better about myself, don't know why, but it does and this setup works for my family. =)  Last year, I opted out of the school events and regretted that decision very much, so never again will I not be there!  I don't want to overload my boys, but I also want them to know that I care and want to be a part of their activities!  This week, Colin had his very 1st outings in preschool!  It was really fun to watch the kids experience new things, but especially my Colin....I loved everything about taking part of his fun and the cutest darn thing, is seeing him grow during the process!  Life isn't easy by no means, but I tell you what this little boy sure has made it memorable!  I look forward to watching his growth and through the tears will be cheering him on!!!
