Flowers and Sunshine

I really don't want my blog to be nothing but happy stuff...flowers and sunshine but you know what that is exactly what I am feeling lately so why not post flowers and sunshine?

Today was a perfect day. NO STRESS!!!! I worked my butt off cleaning out the garage while the kids has the times of their lives simply playing outside and having their mommy near. These past few days have been precious to me....a jobless mom enjoying her children.

I really loved being on maternity leave after having my babies but this is SO much better!!! No postpardum funk, no sleepless nights, no breast feeding, no infants with gas...just a fiesty preschooler and a hilarious toddler. Motherhood is good and I am loving being home. I can feel my bond growing stronger each day and although I know I am going to have to go back to work at least part time I am going to savor these days and cherish the memories we make. I am realizing that it is impossible to squeeze all of the wonderful things I can be doing with my kids into evenings and weekends.

I think we have pretty much figured out what expenses we can cut or eliminate completely and I feel even better about our situation. We are pretty much not going to have an extra penny but at least we know we are going to be okay. We will stay in our house, have two vehicles, keep the kids in preschool, etc.

I know tough times are ahead and I will probaby fall apart multiple times before this is all over but For now the pieces seem to be super glued together...thank goodness!
