I am extremely lucky to be able to stay home and work my business around my 2 young daughters schedules. I get to walk them to school in the morning, pick them up for lunch and play and enjoy time together in the afternoon. I get to do all these things because I made the choice that being there was more important then anything else.
Is it hard — HELL YA! Anyone who has ever stayed at home with kids, let it be an hour, a day or full-time, knows that there are moments you want to scream, yell, or go hide in the closet and never return. There are moments when I wish I returned to work, got to dress up and have adult conversations. There are days that I envy my husband who gets to go to work every day and would change spots in full panic on a morning.
But then there are moments that make it all worth it. That make those times disappear and forget they ever existed. One of those moments happened today…..
I was looking up a recipe for dinner and this picture popped up and my 5 year old daughter screamed with joy. She laughed and asked if we could do that. I collected all the “ingredients” and got both my 3 years and 5 year into aprons and we sat at the table and got to work.
It TOOK FOREVER lol but we laughed, we chatted and we tasted our creations. It was pure JOY. It was such a great time.
I know there are many parents out there who hate their J.O.Bs and hate leaving their children behind. They hate not being there for these moments and hearing about them from the Nanny or the babysitter.
I decided that I wanted more then just relationships with the pictures of my children but with actually them. I decided I would and will continue to do whatever it takes to continue to have moments (both good and bad) until they do not want me anymore (and then I probably will just annoy them a lot).
If you have ever wondered if it was possible, or thought “just maybe”, reach out to me, click on the link and get more information.
My time with my children is precious and I will continue to enjoy these moments ever day.
