A new beginning...

It is funny how a person can take things for granted...get so caught up in the "wants" that they truly forget what is important to them. I was that person. I had the degrees and I wanted the money. I got a GS-09 job and the pay was great. Much more than any mom who has been at home for 8 years could ask for. BUT there were long hours and exhausting days and the opportunities for quality care for children over here are nonexistent. Sooooo, I have once again decided that my family will come first...It was a journey I had to take, but I am back where I belong. I gave myself 6 months to try the working mom bit, and for now, it is just not for me. No amount of money in the world is worth the guilt I felt allowing someone else to spend more time with my children than I did. Soooooo, I will be back at home within the next week, cherishing every moment I have with each one of my children. They grow so fast and I know that noone can care for my children like I can. And now I know how lucky I am to have the opportunity to watch them grow up, see each milestone, and cherish every mess they make!
