Week of Work and Counting Blessings

This week, I worked everyday. It was fun, exhausting, and very reassuring. I now know that I am doing the right thing by staying home the majority of the time. Now don't get me wrong, Maggie did not even notice there was anything different this week. She had a great time spending her days between her Mimi and Papa's and our house. But, by the end of the week, I was going through some major withdrawels. I even had my mom bring Maggie to school for lunch on Friday. The students in my class thought it was because of their great behavior (which their behavior was wonderful). But, in actuality, their substitute teacher was rewarding herself for being brave and working all week while missing her baby.

So, all this to say....I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed Matt and I with the ability for me to stay at home. I love my days with Maggie. It is a sweet, sweet time in life that I am so grateful to enjoy with her.

P.S. My admiration has grown for those mothers out there that work and have children. And, I think you should definitely be able to hire a maid, a cook, and take all of your clothes to the laundry. No time for anything but work and loving your kids!
