Saturday

I love Saturday's! Especially those when there isn't much going on. This morning we had pancakes and little smokies for breakfast, just finished chili and ham sandwiches for lunch. Rob is already asleep on the couch with Grace soon to follow by the way it looks.

I think we did well this week with packing our lunches for work, rather than eating out. By Monday we will be able to see how we did with our new budget for the month of January.

After our few snow days work quickly returned to the normal routine. At times I love my job and the work that I am doing, but there are times when I long to be home with Grace! I think of all of the things I am missing out on and how much of a slower pace my life would be without having to rush to be out the door by 7:15 every morning.

Would part-time work be better for me? If I stayed home full-time would I miss the interaction with the adults?

First post

Well...Here I go my first post on my blog. I thought this would be a great way to journal what goes on during my day and the ups and downs that come along with life. :) I am currently a working mom that is employed full time with a school district as a director of special education. This is my second year at this job. I am coming off of 2 snow days in a room and am truly yearning to be a stay at home mom. I can't even imagine the things I miss out on when I am at work. My 2 year old has done such funny things that I want to write down or take pictures of in the last 2 days. How many things like this do I miss each day? We just purchased a new house, actually made the offer on Jan. 1, 2010. A new year with new changes! My new mission...become frugal and savvy with spending, stick to a monthly budget, and get my house/life organized and priorities straight. I am going to do this by creating a home management guide. By doing this maybe I will be able to stay home with Grace more and put my career on the back burner for a little while.
