Im still kicking!
So I know that I have been absent from writing for quite some time- but no time for apologies- just back to work!
Since I have lasted posted- the holidays have come and gone- (they were awesome) we have had many fun family times, and Joey and I were able to get away to Florida for a little Hawkeye Bowl game fun. We stayed in Clearwater Beach- our hotel was right on the beach, and we had 3 balconies that looked over the ocean. I can honestly say I havent felt that relaxed and at peace since I became a Mom. Not that motherhood is so overly stressful- just that I havent been able to just let go, and trust the kids are fine. But I did this time......and it was great. Definitely a do-over.
I am also working full time again. I really like being out of the house and solving real world problems, but I miss the kiddos. It has been topped off by the fact that all 3 of them have been under the weather to varying degrees which has caused and ample amount of anxiety that I am not able to be at home watching their every move. Not like the kids are neglected- the have their Papa watching them in the AM, and Haylee takes over from 1-6 so I know they are pampered all day long.
Being a working Mom is not as easy as I thought it was- but I totally understand the need to use your brain- and I am looking forward to doing more when Jack heads off to preschool. I cant ever imagine working for someone else- but I know that in time I will develop a career, and that in and of itself excites me. Working for yourself is much harder then just having a boss and getting a paycheck- but it has its perks. This morning I was running about 5 minutes behind and told Joey I was worried about being a few minutes late to the morning huddle with all the girls. He just looked at me and laughed and said "its a good thing you own the company". Oh well- at least I know I have job security.....now if only I could get paid =)
