Back to Work Six Months Later

  We always thought that if the right opportunity came along then I would go back to work. After three and a half years of staying at home with my girls and trying out the stay at home mom thing, I was glad when this job came along. It's taken this long to get in a good rhythm and get everyone used to me not being home all of the time. But I truly enjoy being back out there. My mommy brain was toast, and Cailou was my new best friend. I needed adult interaction, and the extra money helps.
  It was a vicious cycle of being depressed and feeling stuck at home because we rarely had extra money, and wanting to be happy and enjoy the early years with my kids. I had to work when Ethan was a baby, we didn't have a choice. This time was different, we had a choice.
  I feel like a better mom now that I have me time. We can do a little more now and live a little easier. Life is good. Thank you too those wonderful people who have helped us along the way. We are forever grateful to you.
