Last week I had posted about having to change plans to see my son participate in something for school and all the dcp were great about doing that-happyface.
Well, it turned out to be an awesome afternoon and evening. I surprised my son at his school to watch him. The look on his face was priceless when he saw me. Also, when he played his instrument I actually got very teary eyed because it was so beautiful to listen to and thinking that I could have missed it. He actually looked at me the whole time he played!
I was able to pick my other daughter up after school without all the little ones in the car. I went in and watched for a little bit on the project that she stays after to help with.
Had a dentist appt. (again-
) but knew I wasn't rushed to get home to dck's! Was actually able to relax.
My dad and his wife came to visit! Surprised all my kids with this one. We went out to eat and had an awesome visit. My dad surprised my ods with a special gift that will be treasured for his whole life.
These are the kind of days I live for. I have a great group of parents right now that are on hands parents. The group is tough but the parents are great and help with whatever I ask with. Deep in my heart though I know my kids need their mama to be available for them all the time (not just afterschool). I think hubby and I are going to put in a five year(if not a little sooner) plan of starting to lean more towards a 1 income family or me working very part-time.

. Even though we trimmed and consolodated and did everything we could we still need the two incomes right now. He did find a job right away but its going to take 10+ years for him to get back to what he was making when the company closed.
