Peace

Sometimes we make hard choices in life.  I was ready to quit my new job.  I actually did and in the end I came out a part time employee which I am happy about.  It is the best of both worlds.  I will get adult time and an income while I still get to spend afternoons with my children.  I think I can…

Time

Change is inevitable.  Change is hard.  I have really been struggling with work and not being home with the kids.  As much as they drove me nuts I had time with them.  As a working Mom you don't get that time with them.  I don't like the rushing, the quick baths and the sub par dinners I no…

Island Life

Someday I will make it to a tropical island where I will sit on the beach with a nice cold drink, listening to Kenny Chesney while staring out over the ocean.  I love the ocean, but my husband does not.  While we get to live in a beautiful forest, I would trade it for the ocean in a heart beat.  I …

Relax

Another Day

Here we go.  Week two at work.  It was not as disastrous as last week.  I don't mind the job as much as I miss being with my kids.  I know the feeling will fade with time, but I wish the job would have started in the fall when they went back to school.  I purchased some dresses for work, but no…

Finally Friday

I forgot how working feels.  I entered a sinking ship on Monday with a key person in the office gone.  From there it only got worse.  Three days of semi organized chaos.  On the fourth day my daughter had a promotion ceremony.  I didn't take enough time off work to stay past the speeches.  I di…

The Final Day

Today is my final day of being a stay at home mom.  I am feeling lots of things and I just hope this works out for the best.  Only time will tell.  This round of Designer Showcase opened with a whole bunch of newness that you need to to have.  One thing that will never change is my love of shopping…
