As I sit here at my computer, just thinking that today was the last full day for awhile that I had to be home with my little babies, my eye's are wet and I'm sobbing! Not so good!!
As of tomorrow I start back to work full time! Dental Assisting in a local office just 10 mins from my house. Even though it is close...It seem not close enough to hold, touch and love on my sweet babies. It has really been a hard day for me!! I have thought of all the things I'm going to miss out on, all the mommy times I have so much enjoyed, the little things that my kids do that just make my SMILE, all the time i have got to spend with Mason at school, all the field trips I have got to go on with Chloe and her pre-school class, Potty training with Ryya and her clumsy personality, and I will even miss titans and his first steps! I will miss all the snuggle time that him and I still share. I still hold him like he is my baby! He will always be my baby!! I do feel fortunate to have stayed home with them for the last six years and hopefully it wont have to be too long term.
I do feel blessed to know that Dustin will be staying home with them two of the four days while I'm gone. I will work Monday thru Thursday about 12 hours a day. Then for a long weekend with them will be so nice!
I do have to take my hat off to all the working mom's out there! I know how you are feeling and what you are going through. Such a hard thing...squeeze your little ones a little tighter and hug them a little longer for all of us! Good night and wish me luck!
April

Hang in there! You are a strong lady and you will make it.......plus it won't be for forever, just till things get better. You are lucky you do have this to fall back on too!
Miss you tons and know that I am thinking of you!
I so...understand and my eyes are wet too. Just so proud of the great mom you are to those grandbabies. Heavenly Father understands how we long to be there for them always. I love you so much and hope things go smoothly during this new chapter of your life.
April, It really is neat that you have that to fall back on! You will do great I am sure and some how manage with the strength of our heavenly father. This will some how be blessing in your life, you just can't see it yet. Dustin will also appreciate all that you have done the past six years. Cory says to me that he is so thankful for his job because he said being a mom is hard work! Even though I only have two children, the demands of motherhood are so important! This is a great thing you are doing for your family and honestly sometimes, i wish I could work full time. I work at Gymboree every Friday for only three hours so I can get the discount and I love those three hours away from my kids just so I can chat with other women. I am totally rambling. bottom line is you are a strong person, I have always thought that! There is nothing you can't do. You worked full time at Canaberry place before and after you had little Chole. You amazed me then and you amaze me now!!! Hang in there!!
April, many times there are silver linings in our struggles in life. How blessed your family is that you have an education and experience to help through those bumps in the road.
We love you and your little family. Connie
Ahh, I so know how you feel! I went back to work last August.. (2007). I was able to stay home with my kids for 10 years. Even though all my kids are in school now, it is still hard. I'd like to be able to be here when my older kids run home for lunch and things like that. Good luck... Not that you need it. You are a great mom and will do a fantastic job of being a mom and working outside the home. :)
oh gosh... that was hard to read. You are such a great mommy and I am going to miss our play dates!! But hang in there because it won't be forever, and I know you know that, but still remember it. Love ya!
April! Now you've got me crying! After seeing you with your kids at my house back in May it made me want to be more patient and appreciative of my own little ones. The time you have spent with your kids have been REAL quality. I really do think you have a leg up on a lot of us when it comes to your natural mothering skills. They have had nothing but good lovin from you this far and that will keep them going for a long while! Then, they will have your unconditional lovin again for 3 days, 72 BIG hours each week! Plus..Dustin is your equal and he'll do such a great job too! I think more kids could use that kind of time with their daddy's!
I love you and will be sending you winks along the way! ;)
Hang in there...hopefully you won't have to do this for too long! I'm glad your cute kids get to hang with Dustin for two of the days - they will love that! He's so great with them, he's more domestic then most women I know! Cooking, sewing aprons, he can do it all! I hope your first day back went ok....hugs!
April, Im soo glad you posted this! We all already knew you were a supermom...now you are really balancing it all! I think it is awesome that Dustin can be with the kiddos 2 of those days...it will make the other 2 less painful, and then oneday...you will be done! Can't wait to hear how this first week went. And just think...for a teeny, little while...YOU will be the one the kids come running to the door to see and hug and kiss and love ALL over! I'll be thinking of you! XOXOX
April, I had no idea you were facing this. I wish we could help. Has Dustin thought of finishing his degree?
Love,
Sterling Fluharty
Oh I am so glad to hear that you got that job, however I do feel for you. I can't imagine going to work. It's has been over 8 years since I have worked, it would be such an adjustment. You are a great mom and I am sure your kids will flood you with love and memories as you walk in the door each day.
Good luck with your new job. Life isn't always what we expect, but I'm proud of you for doing what is necessary to provide for your family. Hopefully this new situation will be for a short time.
Hang in there April, you looked like a pro in there yesterday and my girls were so happy to see some one they knew. Hopefully it's just for a short time!
You are Super Mama! NO matter how tired, exhausted or stressed out you can get...you always spin it around and give up that more energy, loves, kisses and happiness to those around you..your kids will not be on the back burner ever when you are around.
I am Mr Mom will be around, that will make everyone happy too...and give you a sense of relief while you scrape gums!
I'm anxiously awaiting your next blog entry to hear how everyone is adjusting to the new schedule. Love ya!!
