a little more sunshine in my days...

 

 

 

well, obviously it's been far too long since I've blogged, but with good reason {I think}. We've had lots of changes going on around here over the past few weeks. Dan & I decided after a little shake up at Lydia's babysitter, that we'd try keeping her at home with me. It wasn't so much a hard decision as it was trying to make sure we could make it all work out. With my full time design job at home, I have plenty of work to accomplish for sure, but I've spent the last week & a half trying to work it out. I love having Lydia at home.  My days are now inter-mixed with design work, blowing bubbles, swinging, puzzles & such. Hearing her chatter, extra hugs & kisses through the day & just having someone here with me is a welcome change.  Getting some time away from the computer throughout the day really helps me feel a little more fresh!!! I think it's even made me better at time management:)  I was a stay at home mom with both of the boys, although then I didn't hold a full time position besides... so I know you definitely have to use your "free" time wisely!  I've figured out times of the day that work best for uninterrupted work time & times that I need to take a break to play, read, or just cuddle.  It's such a wonderful thing to watch & listen to her growing & learning new things everyday.  When I have a meeting or an appointment or just because Grandma Mary has been delighted to spend time with her as well. I'm taking all the time I can to soak it all in & enjoy this opportunity. Although some days I might not get done everything I want to accomplish I'm reminding myself to take a deep breath & remember it's nothing I can't work on when Dan gets home or when the kids go to sleep. I love you Lydia & yes you definitely are MY SUNSHINE :)

I'm happy for you, Robyn! I hope I can start doing the same someday...successfully...you know...like actually make some money AND be a mama. ;)

I know you made the right decision. These days when your kids are young are fleeting! Enjoy them! You will work it out in the end. We as mothers have the toughest job! Some how we make it all happen! Good for you!
