Updates!

I'm home alone--working today. The kids are at the sitter and I have done a ton of work today, so now I'm going to take a break and do some updating.

Our sweet boy turned 4 the other day, today he is finishing up swimming lesson, and on Saturday he signs up for soccer. I have a feeling that that little guy going to school is going to be an emotional day for me. He will starts school with me, at my school in August. He will attend school from 7:40-3:20 daily. He will have PE, he will have library...he will be big. His biggest concern? Leaving his sweet sister with the sitter everyday. Those two are such a pair, I'm so glad I chose to have my children so close in age. Those two have an incredible relationship and really love each other.

Every night before we go to bed, we go into their rooms and tuck them in. Most of the time we wake them up a little-tickle them, talk to them, just for a minute or two. The other day, sister woke up and pointed to Bubba's room. She wanted Bubba, we let her go in there and lay with him for a bit...and she was so happy with that.

I'm excited to know that one day I can stay home with that sweet girl, and I'm excited to know that I get to spend the next year with my son at work with me. I always have had mixed feelings about being a "working" mom or a "stay" at home mom, and I really enjoy the working part-but working two jobs is going to eventually kill me! :) I am going to stick it out for one more year, as little guy needs this. Who knows, I might really enjoy this year (unlike last year). I know that both kids are pretty well rounded little people, and I'm glad I have made the decisions up to this point. Even if I stay home next year, sister will still have to go to daycare 2-3 days a week, maybe even 4-so that I can work at home. I think it will be kind of cool for her to be able to stay home with me a day or two a week because her Daddy works from home as well. How cool is that for her?

  1. That is really awesome that you are being a surrogate! What made you wait until half way to talk about it? I understand that it may be a sensitive issue but you are doing something truly amazing and selfless and I think that it is wonderful!
