Im now a SAHM

 I no longer work a parttime job as an oral surgeons assistant. Its been two weeks since I have quit that job. I sure do miss everyone at work but I love being home with my kids. I love being the one to take them swimming, and run them around town here and there to play practice, to swim at the lake and  pool, rent movies, and stop at the library and the snowcone stand or just hang around the house all day doing nothing.  I love that we all get to sleep in almost every day and when we all wake up we are well rested and ready to sit down and eat breakfast together.  I dont always cook breakfast every morning but I try to cook it at least 2 times a week. If I dont cook we all end up sitting down together with a bowl of cereal. Its nice to just BE with my kids instead of seeing them for an hr in the morning while everyone does the mad dash to get ready for school and hardly and most times not even eat breakfast. We are all missing "daddy" alot these days. He not only has a day job but works at the church as a bass player so hes gone alot in the evenings also. When I worked he and I had lunch together at least 2 times a week since we worked just 10 mins from each other. I miss that.  So I am planning on the kids and I having lunch with daddy at least once everyother week if not once a week. Its a bit of a drive to his job from our house so we have to not drive to much as the gas prices are sky high and then add money to go out to eat and that gets expensive.  Theres alot I want to get done this summer before we offically start homeschooling but mostly I just plan on ENJOYING being with my kids.  That is sometimes not so easy with a moody teenage girl, an opinionated preteen and a 5 yr old boy with not so good listing skills and tons of energy..LOL..but I know I need to enbrace who they are and Enjoy them while I can before they grow wings and fly away.
