Tears


Well...tomorrow I head back to work. Please say a prayer for me, my kiddos, and my mom. I have been off work since January 22nd and I am not ready to go back. I have gotten used to being a stay at home mom and I wish I could stay one!!! I know that when it is time for me to walk out the door in the morning, I am going to have a really rough time. I also worry that my kids are going to notice that I am not there and begin to wonder where I am.

I have gotten used to the normal routine that we have everyday. I get up, shower, get ready, and then I get Garrett up and we have breakfast together. I enjoy a piece of toast and coffee while he enjoys his oatmeal, then we share a banana!!! While we have breakfast, we sit in the kitchen with the windows open and listen to the birds chirp. Cute little Isabel hangs out in her swing sleeping the majority of the time. I don't put her in her bed for a couple of reasons. If Garrett and I are going to be in the living room, I want to be able to watch her while she sleeps. I also don't put her in her room because she still has a spitting up issue. I worry that she will choke on her spit up...she does that sometimes when she eats. When she gets choked up, she sometime quits breathing and I don't want to worry about that happening while she is in her crib.

All of that being said, please pray for me to have the strength to go back to work, pray for my kids-I don't want them to think I have abandoned them, and pray for my mom-she will be taking care of them while I am working.

Maybe someday I will get to be a stay at home mom again!!!

The day went not great but good. Garrett has a cold and he wanted me to hold him all day, it wasn't the same as mom or dad but I'd do until they came home.Little Isabel was wonderful so I could spend a little more time with Garrett. He sure was glad to see his mommie come through the door. I love taking care of my grandbabies.
