Working mom

So tomorrow I will end my first week back to school. It looks like I survived! Well...almost, since its only Thursday! I have one word to sum up the last couple of days: EXHAUSTED!! Yesterday and today I have been so stinking tired. I didn't even make dinner! That could also be because we don't have groceries since I never made it to the store this week. But! Either way, I was too tired to grocery shop or cook!

As I was typing this, I wrote a whole paragraph griping about the balance between work, being a mom and being a wife. Then I stopped and deleted the whole thing because I felt like it was so negative. I thought about the fact that those 3 things: my job, my son and my husband are 3 of my biggest blessings (along with my family). Those are the 3 things that I always prayed for, worked towards and wished for. So I decided to turn my frown upside down (do I sound like a teacher or what!?) and count my blessings. I'm simply going to have to learn to them all so that I make the best of my time with each one. I'm not breaking any molds here, many women have been doing it for years and years. I'm certain that I will find that balance.

My baby boy will be 8 months old tomorrow. How the time flies! Only 4 months to his birthday which means the time to start planning a birthday party is right around the corner! He's trying so hard to crawl! He pushes really high up on his hands and moves his little legs but can't get the full motion. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. This little boy loves to dance! If you hum a little song, he starts dancing. He loves when I put "Elmo's Song" on my laptop. His little eyes just light up and he looks over at me as if he's thinking "Look Momma!! Elmo!" I love it! When I picked him up at Mrs. Anna's today, she was sitting with him at the window and she said he was waving to everyone as they walked out! He's been doing that for a bit but I wasn't sure if it was involuntary or on purpose. Looks like it's on purpose! My baby is growing so fast!

I guess I will end by saying this much...never forget to recognize your blessings and always be positive. With these blessings comes work and commitment but how sweet and wonderful they are!
