Life of a Working Mom...

These past two weeks have been rough.

I love all the kids and being in the classroom... I wasn't sure how I would take to going back into the classroom, but I realize now that once a teacher always a teacher... it nevers leaves your blood. I have loved being with them every day, and feel super thankful to have this opportunity!

The rough part has been [home] Jack has been sick... really sick with pneumonia & a secondary infection. We have been to urgent care... the emergency room... twice to the pediatrician... and on the phone with the doc multiple times. Multiple medications & breathing treatments have become a normalcy... and my poor pale little man mostly lays around and watches the tv. When I get done working I just sit on the couch and cozy with him... and he comes into my bedroom early in the morning and snuggles with me.

That is the hard part of working full time... I can't take off and stay home with him. It gets me counting the weeks that we will be apart. (9 more) I realize one thing... I don't want to work full time again until he is in school, 3 years from now.... this time is so short... and he still needs me.... and I still need him.

To all my FTWM (full time working moms) I don't know how you do it... but I applaud you! You amaze and inspire me. The juggling and multi tasking you do everyday to meet the needs of everyone in your families... and still be able to work outside the home is a testiment to how AWESOME you all are!
