But I am so glad the place you're working welcomed you back the way they did, it's obvious that you're gifted and compassionate. Sadly, that's in short supply most of the time.<br /><br />You being happy... doing something you love... that's important. And your children will appreciate that later if they don't now. My guess is that your kids actually do appreciate it and 'get' it more than you think.<br /><br />((Hugs)) to you... so glad you're doing something that brings you joy.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230066607948741101.post-79308932347281993492014-08-13T17:48:30.787-07:002014-08-13T17:48:30.787-07:00Finding the balance is hard.

I have never had the luxury of staying home FT (well except that 2 years I lived off my severance before the divorce) so my kids have always known me working. In fact it's weird now that I can manipulate my schedule and only have them go to camp 3 days in the summer and I can actually take school breaks off with them. Course, if truth be told, they sometimes would rather go to camp than stay home with Mom. :)<br /><br />Regardless... it's good to feel like you're making an impact on others. Go you!!Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230066607948741101.post-47788900378866114952014-08-11T10:04:11.057-07:002014-08-11T10:04:11.057-07:00Thank you, Karey, for saying JUST what I needed!

I get that it just wasn't the plan you guys had for your family, and that's perfectly acceptable to be disappointed when things don't go the way we had envisioned (believe me, I get that! - we lived with my parents for almost three years for goodness' sakes!). ;)<br /><br />That being said, I'm sorry your kids are sad. However, I think that when they look back on this they'll see a few things that maybe they aren't seeing in the this-sucks-right-now moment. They'll see that Mom has something she loves doing...and she's doing it! She's taking some time (and getting paid for it!) to do something that brings her (and others!) joy. It's selfless on so many levels! They'll also see that when things get tough your family is one that works it out. You guys pull together and work as a team. You and Judd are partners and there's always give and take and when someone needs to step up and "take one for the team" and figure it out together and walk it out as a whole family. <br /><br />Also? That's awesome that she knew you by name and wanted you to start right away. You must have a great reputation there! That's awesome! :) Five Arrows Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12205937427532122616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230066607948741101.post-41980842897722526262014-08-11T07:58:38.616-07:002014-08-11T07:58:38.616-07:00After reading this, I realize it sounds as if I...After reading this, I realize it sounds as if I'm against mom's working. I am not! It's just wasn't in OUR plans for mom to work. My kids were blessed to have me home 24/7 for so long, it's a huge adjustment. mrs.boring stay at homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519025092675731316noreply@blogger.com
