I Love My Job
Today was one of those days that I was loving being at home and doing daycare! After the center I used to work for shut down I had to find a different job that carried health insurance...quickly! So I went into retail. I was anxious and excited to learn something new that didn't require dealing with poop! haha! Well, I soon learned that retail just isn't as satisfying! Plus I spent a year working crazy retail hours and only getting one weekend off a month. My family paid the price 
I wasn't as involved in my daughters school, my weekend time with her was a bust and I missed out on a lot of outside time.
Today I was just loving that I don't have to stare out a window and WISH I was outside but I can say to the kids LETS GO OUTSIDE! I love that I get to watch my daughter get on AND off the bus this year and that I get to see her smiling face everyday she walks in the door (opposed to calling her on the phone from work to hear how her day went before I tell her goodnight and I'll see ya in the morning). I love that I get to watch EVERY little piece of development my son goes thru as he grows each month, instead of someone else telling me, "oh he clapped today!" And that I get to give him a hug after every nap and plus hugs from 4 other little ones!
I know I need to take in the moment and remember this on those days it gets crazy and frustrating. I need to always remember where my family was at last year compared to this year! I love doing in home daycare! Even if it is added work, longer days and time consuming. But oddly I am spending more time with my family than I was working 40 hours in a store!
