FREEDOM!!!!

Now don't get me wrong-I love my kids more the life itself, and I love spending time with them. But since I now am home by myself all day without them has been wonderful!! I can finally get my work done without distractions and be done by the time they come home. No more stressing over having to work until 10 every night, or worrying about trying to juggle work and spending time with them. Its been so hard to manage a family, house and work when its all in my face every day!!! I love working from home, the flexibility it allows, and the availability it gives me. Now that I know both my boys are getting the attention and learning that I could not give them while they were home with me during the weekdays, I feel like weight has been lifted off me. Alex loves daycare and is getting so much out of it, and Logan is improving a little every day in Kindergarten. I finally feel like being home is worth it. I do get lonely at times, and wonder what they are doing, and I do miss them, but to be able to spend all night with them, and really dedicate my evenings to family time-make its worthwhile. I just joined Logan's school's PTA so I'm hoping to be able to help them out some, which will give me some more social interaction with other adults and parents. I also have the freedom to go into the office more, when needed without the hassle of finding people to watch the kids for me. As much as I really want to do other things in my life, career wise, for me right now this is the best thing for me. I can be there to put my kids on the bus and when they get home, I can go to school functions and save money in travel expenses. Eventually I would like to go back to school to do something else, but for me, my kids are my first priority and I want to be available for them whenever they need me too. So I guess I'm feeling pretty lucky right now!!!
