A New Chapter

Tomorrow I will officially enter the working world again. Three and a half years ago I struggled with my choice to quit teaching and stay at home with my kids. A stay at home mom? Me ... no way! Now, crossing back to the other side is even more difficult.

I've learned to love being with my kids every morning, through snacks, lunches, playgroups, naps right up until bedtime. When I think about all I will be missing it breaks my heart. I am constantly reminding myself this is all for the better of our family. After searching halfway around the world, I feel like we've found the most quality care money can buy - and let me assure you it is not cheap. Even Logan will need before school care. He'll have to spend an extra hour and a half at school every morning - quite a long time for a six year old.

I've got to just be at peace with my decisions, wake up tomorrow morning, put on my working girl pants and NOT look back. I already know I will love my job - and I just keep my eye on the prize - paid summers at home with my kids ... and a husband with a nursing degree - now that's priceless!


And so a new chapter begins. I apologize if my blog is not updated as often - I won't have as much time as you 'stay at home' moms!
