It's summer break and I have been loving every minute of it so far. As I write this I am sitting outside, under the big tulip tree in our yard, as the girls play around in the yard.
To be perfectly honest, I would normally be inside trying to get dishes or laundry done, or trying to pick up the house so it looks presentable if someone were to stop by unexpected. Even then, I would apologize for the way the house looked. But not today!! I need to make the most of what God has given me.
On March 11th my brother in law (29) was told he had less than a week to live - when he was 22 doctors found three, inoperable, cancerous, tumors on his brain. On April 15th he lost his battle with cancer and went home to be with his Father. This opened my eyes as to how short life is/can be and I made it official, that I am NOT going back to work next year. I will be a SAHM!!
When I was working, whenever I was home I was trying to clean up, as I mentioned above. I am not quite as worried about the house being clean because I know it will get done at some point. Jason is happier because he actually has clean clothes for work and I am actually motivated to make him a lunch. :-)
I guess I might need to change the title of my blog since I have accomplished that goal!!
I am glad to hear that you are staying home with your wee ones! Enjoy them while they are young! Pour into them every chance you get. Let them get dirty...and have fun while they are doing it. :) Miss you guys. Give Jason a big hug from Texas.
