I have finally become able to stay at home, with my family. Nothing in this world could make me happier or more content. SO, my days have been spent caring for kids and keeping house. I have the opportunity to directly oversee Moriah's schoolwork. We have agreed that she has definitely done more this week than throughout the last month. Things are going well. I feel the most satisfaction I ever have before, for so many reasons. Knowing Madison's whole demeanor has changed this week, she is not crying for me throughout the day...she knows I am here. What more could a mother want. Working outside the home never brought an ounce of satisfaction for me. I dreaded every morning, the moment I would leave my family and leave my home. I cried each morning on my way to work, knowing what I was leaving behind. I knew they needed me, and I deeply needed them. I would come home on my lunch breaks and cry again on my way back to work. I dreaded the exhaustion that followed me through the door when I came home in the evening. I think of some of the professional women I know, who have children. I wonder what could possibly be more rewarding than raising the little babies we created. I feel sorry for them in a way. I understand, different people have different needs and thus priorities. But in another way, I cannot understand..cannot comprehend. Just my thoughts, based on my own experiences. I cannot walk in their shoes, but I sincerely wouldn't want to. I love my family. All I want in the world is to be able to take care of them, myself. I look forward to every moment with them. Even the inevitable challenges we will surely face. We will face them together. We will be, together.
