Well we have gone through some changes in the last few months and with the change of roles it has taught me a lot. I LOVE being a mom and being home with my kids. I appreciate my husband for going to work everyday and all the other mom's out there who do this. I was an emotional breakdown on it's brink of erupting. Today we switched roles again. Adam started a new job and I was back to my mom duties. I truly love to see my kids in the morning and get them off to school and play with my 2 year old. I love to have a clean home and go to the gym and make dinner. Granted we are only on day one back to reality, but overall I would rather do this than be a full time working mom. This experience has put things into perspective and allowed me to have a greater appreciation for my husband and we have become closer through this. I was so nervous for him today and kinda sick wondering if he will like it, make friends, who he would have lunch with. I guess I am the worrier always. He had a great day and until something better comes along this is what we will continue to pursue. Take a day at a time and cherish what you have because life isn't always going to be that way turns will come in the road and our faith has been tested. I am grateful for the kids carpool and talking with them about their day. I was excited to help with homework and bath time. I am writing most of this to be a reminder that when things get hard and I am feeling under appreciated I can remember that these little tasks are special and that my kids will only need me for a short while longer. Life is short enjoy each new day because it really is a gift. I am going to bed now so I will be refreshed to face another great day of life, as a mom. Wish me luck~
