The day I have been dreading and looking forward to is quickly approaching. Over the past three years I have had moments where I couldn't bear the thought of leaving my baby and a few where I wished I could go to work. Now that she is really ready for pre-school and I have a job it makes me a little sad. It's truly unfortunate that all mothers can't stay at home with their babies (if they want to). I always planned on going back to work right after Addison was born, but I'm so thankful that God had another plan for me. Money was tight, patience was tested, and adult conversation sometimes limited but I can't imagine anything better than spending the last three years watching our little girl grow. I'm so thankful to my wonderful husband who worked his tail off to support us and family who helped out when needed, but more than anything I'm thankful that God made sure there wasn't a job for me at Lake Travis. No amount of money or "job experience" can replace the time and the memories we made together. Now when I'm working until I'm 80, to make up for all this time off I may feel differently, but I doubt it. If there is one thing life has taught me in the last few years, life is short and unfair, and at any moment it can all be taken from you. So in this last week of "Mommy and Me Time" I'm gonna spoil this kid rotten!
