You
know when you give up exercising or a routine & then it’s
impossibly hard to get back into it? Well, that’s kind of how I feel right now about writing...I
don’t
know if it’s
the summer & weather, the fantastic Olympics distracting me or just wanting to spend as
much possible time with my Bubs before heading back to work- whatever it is I
apologize that this blog is so random- I guess it’s
a lot like me...
So,
on to the dreading time bomb of heading back to work, I only have a few more
weeks...I am so not looking forward to going back- this time with Noal has been
amazing- watching him grow, being here for every moment & the thought of
not having that kills me...I realize here in Canada we are extremely lucky for
our mat leaves & I can’t
complain but oh how I wish I could stay with him & this new baby girl for a
few years...There is certain things I like about him going to a daycare but
when I lay awake at night thinking about life I can’t
help but feel suffocated by the time bomb about to go off...But then I feel
baby girl kick & smile & think to myself it’s
only for a couple months & then I’m off again with them both...It’s
funny cause before I went off on mat leave for Noal, I truly was one of those
gals who wasn’t
sure if a whole year was for me- I loved my job, didn’t
want to “lose”myself
& thought I would be bored at home with a baby all day...And now a year
later I’ve
lost myself completely, I’m
still me t, but I’m
a momma through & through & I’d give anything to stay at home with
my kids...So to all ya ladies who get that chance, I’m extremely jealous...
Pin It
I completely feel the same, T! Dreading the day I go back and have to drop my baby off at daycare. Wish I could win the lottery...
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Tara! I've heard a lot about it in the past - nice to finally take a peek at it! I had all the same thoughts and feelings when I had Atticus and had to go back to work, but, you know, whether you're a stay-at-home-mom, a working mom, a little bit of both, or whatever you happen to choose, you'll find ways to make your time with your family meaningful regardless, and your kids will never question those choices. They're just lucky enough to have you as a mom! Myself, well, I've been lucky enough to do a little bit of all of the above, and it's really put my role as a parent into perspective. I'm glad I had the chance to be a working mom as well as a stay-at-home-mom. It makes us well-rounded (and maybe our kids too!).

Tara, take it from a "stay at home mom" every situation has its Pros and Cons :) We find our special moments in what ever we choose to do and deal with the things we consequentially give up. We do what we do because we love them more than life its self xo Every stage in life will bring new joys and new things to look forward to, and as we leave the old stages behind we create cherished memories that no one will ever be able to take away :)
