It's a New day
I decided to start a blog for the simple reason that I have so much more to say than what I should say in a facebook post. Please don't hang out here to stalk me":) I get emails everyday asking how I do it-raise my son, work and still end up with a smile on my face. Well, the truth is-sometimes I don't. My life is filled with those crappy days and not so fun moments too. Today-the fear of school starting in 3 weeks is setting in and the Mom guilt that I just haven't spent enough time with E during his break. Where has the summer gone and is my baby really going to starting 8th grade....didn't I just hold his hand as he cried during the kindegarten round-up tour? Hmmm...good thing Polly never ages:)

it doesn't get easier. and some Mondays just suck. hope your tuesday goes a bit better.
ReplyDeleteI understand and then some. It seems like just yesterday I walked my little girls to the bus and then down the aisle. Watching my son learn to ride is bike then driving his car. I missed many segments of their lives while in the Air Force and then a DOD contractor. Then only thing that gave me more time with them was developing MS. Which I rarely talk about. I think of you as a friend if that is ok.
ReplyDeleteFunny, we went to my husband's company picnic on Saturday and there was a little boy about 2 that reminded me so much of our son (who is also starting 8th grade) at that age. I looked over at my son who now stands eye to eye with both of his parents and I thought man, where did that time go? I cannot believe this is his LAST school year before HS. I feel ya Nicole, summer break came and went TOO fast! My kids start school a week from tomorrow. Life is hectic, days and weeks pass quickly, it's the moments that you must make linger. Savor it all!
ReplyDeleteI think all working moms feel the same way, even if they work at home. Your love for your son definitely shines through, which is why your show is one of my faves. We have good days and bad, my oldest daughter will be a senior this year, and I feel like only yesterday she was the shy kid hiding behind me on the 1st day of kindergarten.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a better day tomorrow! Is your ankle feeling better?
One thing I always try and remember is that we work to live not live to work. It looks like you are doing just that for your son. Sometimes the balance seems off but always do your best and remember what really matters is family and friends. I think both you and your son can be proud of the great job you do. We love your show and learn so many things. Just remember to make the most of your time together. That is what he will remember.
