Home, Work, no time for much else.

So on jan. 25th my bosses left for thier annul 6 week vacation. I was prepared I know how to run my store, I felt confident that I could handle the challenge. Plus, in any need I always have my hubby.

Ok, now let me say that today is my first day off in a week and I am pooped. Trying to figure out how to balance me working 50 hours a week plus being a mom and wife will work out.

The thing is even as I type this I realized even though it's not easy it already has. Well Kind of.

The kids miss me, and I miss them terribly but I know that this is what I have to do. Not for me, not for just them for all of us. So now when I am off or I am home in the morning or before bed I take the time to really catch up with them through chatting with them or take an extra hug and kiss to get us through the times when I am not here.

Sean is doing it too. Working 50 hours then coming home and doing what has to be done here at home. We rarely see eachother anymore but we know we have to do this, we know where we are going and we are going to keep working hard to meet the goals we have for our family.
We have uped our date night to twice a month, we catch up imbetween relieving eachother from home to go to work. Phone calls on our breaks.

Then late march we are going awway for a weekend just us for my birthday. We are also planning on a family weekend too we all need it.

So although I may whine, sometimes even cry thinking this is all not possible it is. It all works out, it always does.
I am tired , I am cranky, but I love my life and everything it comes with.

Back to work!

Well, I am officially back to work.
It's only a few nights a week and it's not that bad.

As a mom I have a job 24 hours a day, which my children take full advantage of some nights. It's endlessly rewarding everyday as I watch them grow,learn and interact with each other. The best part of the day is not only when they say I love you but when you look at them and they are truly happy. I love being a mom and I am so thankful that I have 3 wonderful children to bless me with their love everyday.

Going to work outside the house is sad but still rewarding. I miss bedtime which is always a valued time with me and the kids. Being the last I love you and kiss of the day makes me go to bed smiling. The kids are with Daddy though and they really enjoy the alone time with him. Hearing my name and not mommy just for a few hours is nice although I do feel guilty for saying that. Being able to balance work and children and lets not forget about Sean isn't always easy but it always works out. Sean is such a wonderful husband and father and has made it kind of easy for me. Working is almost like a refresher to step out of it for a little bit and take a breath. Last night I came home and daddy had everyone in bed we talked without getting interrupted and went to sleep. I felt like an adult. Please don't tell my children.

I love my life and my family I love that God has blessed me with such joy.
