A Little Experiment...

Thinking I was interested in going back to work part time, I signed up for a nine week sales class called "Sweathogs". I was all into the program, chosen to be a team leader and all ready to start generating more leads for my husband to work. Then it hit me. There was a major homework requirement that would take me away from Precious Miracle at least three days per week, not to mention the actual class time, a fourth full day.

There is so much going on in the life of Precious Miracle and I don't want to miss one thing. I want to be there for her therapy sessions, discovering how well she performed and what we need to work on for next time. I want to be there for music and gym classes. I want to be the one to kiss her boo-boos, help her explore the potty, read her stories and be the one she wakes up to every single afternoon.

Work will always be there -the opportunity to spend quality time raising my almost two year old won't. In the future, do I see myself regretting the fact that I passed up a work opportunity? No. Do I see myself regretting the fact that I wasn't there for my baby girl? You betcha!

This takes me to my next point. Preschool at two? What was I thinking? There is no way my daughter is ready for that. So, it is off to "Mommy and Me" this fall. Sometimes things just become crystal clear. Thank God for that!
