{Live} Adventures Of A Working Mom Staying At Home: Weeks Three to Five
August 15, 2011 in All Posts, Laugh, Parenting
Looking back, Weeks One and Two were seriously hectic. Luckily, we were on vacation for Weeks Three and Four.
Even though it technically wasn’t a “vacation” vacation - more a visit home to the in-laws’ - it was wonderful to get away from our routine and put some distance between working life and my new life at home with the kids.
In fact, our holiday turned out to be just what I needed to clear my head and get a grasp of what it is to be with family and focus on being together.

Well, it’s just been a week so far, but so far so good
I think that it makes the best kind of blog post! I’m so thrilled you enjoy it! I have some friends who tried it and were back to work within a few months- It just wasn’t for them- and I respect that. If mom’s not happy, the kids won’t be, either, I think.
I write about the funny stuff- the ugly stuff-and I hope people don’t take it as a resentment of being home. I woudn’t want anything else. I love it.
So glad you do, too!!!
