I'm back at work. I am really enjoying it. I like the reminder that I am good at more than just washing dishes, and the pay-check feels good too!
I work when the kids are in preschool and napping. I am at home with them the rest of the time. This flexible opportunity is what I have been hoping, praying and looking for for 5 years.
Like with every choice we make, there are trade offs. It is much more difficult to keep the dishes clean, to find time to cook and clean up, to work out, to blog or to hang out with friends, but these trade offs are working out well for me.
I am finally perfectly happy.
Can anyone ask for more than "perfectly happy?" I am so happy for you!
ReplyDeletethat's great jodie! how nice to get what you wanted. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great! But now we are sad because you don't blog as much. Trade offs, trade offs. It is great that you have found your balance!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've found your balance!! I understand the less blogging comment (although I miss your posts)!!
ReplyDeleteso glad you're happy, girl! and I love Anne Taintor - hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you that things are working out so well! Like the others, I do miss your more frequent blogging, but totally understand. I was never one to be able to keep up with it as often as I wanted to either. All we can do is try ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great job for you. I'm glad it is working out so well!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I will be paying it forward, soon.
