Thankful Mama

AHH!!  Why is time flying by so quickly?  And how is it almost January, when this Mama has to go back to work full time?!?  WOW!!  I have been so blessed to be at home with Little Miss for almost 4 months!  When I get upset about having to put her in daycare, I think to myself how lucky I am that she didn't have to start at 6 weeks (like a lot of children do).  I am so thankful that we have her in one of the best (and of course the most expensive - BOO!) day school's in Little Rock.  I am also thankful that her Daddy has a job that allows him to be off two days during the week, therefore she'll only spend 3 days @ Chenal Valley Day School. 

 

 

Truthfully, I have struggled with the idea that Reese has to go to daycare.  Sure, I could stay at home with her and Matt could work, but we would also (like any other family) have to make some huge lifestyle changes.  Right now, I choose to work to be able to provide her with a life full of amazing opportunities.  It truly is unbelievable how you can love something so small so very much!!  When I get sad that I have to take her to day care, I'm just going to remind myself that I work for HER!!  I want her to have nice things, go to Little Gym, dance, or gymnastics if she wants to.  I want to take BIG family vacations every year, and I want her to never have to go without.  I just consider myself very fortunate to have a job with so much flexibility. 


I love being Mom, but I will also look forward to being "Kia" for 6-8 hours a day.  The girl who loves the sale, loves interacting with professionals, and loves dressing the part.  ;)



I write this post as a reminder for myself.  I am definitely a thankful Mama!!
