"Some days I feel like I have the hardest job and some days I feel like I have the easiest job, but everyday I know that I have the best job." -Me
Some of you that stay home with your kids know that somedays you have your good days and some days you have bad days. Some days you feel like all you do is say "no" or are getting on their case for one reason or another. The thoughts that run through your head are something like..."Why can't you do this...or When you are old enough to do this...When you grow up..."
Many times we are in a hurry to rush them to the next phase...walking, talking, potty training, running, crawling, etc. that we forget to enjoy the moments that we have now. Enjoy the moments when they want to hang on your arm, crawl in your lap, take a nap with you, whisper secrets in your ear, listen while you read a book, play sidewalk chalk, share your meal, share your bed, give you a kiss or hug in publc...I could go on and on.
Me, being the country music nerd, have run across many songs that have the "family" type theme to them. Lonestar has an incredible song that will make you cry. To read the lyrics, click here. Below I put a slide show of our kids with this song. I would lying if I said I didn't cry at all while making this. Time really does pass by quickly and you see this more while watching your children grow up before your eyes.
Let me say that I am blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with our children. This was a decision that was decided on by both Josh and I and prayerfully thought out. We know that everyone does not have the chance or opportunity to do this.
