Entry for June 19, 2006

There is nothing more peaceful then getting to watch your 4 month old rocking in her swing, and nothing more joyful then to know your 3 1/2 year old is in the other room watching Dumbo and eating a cheese stick, and then there is how proud you are that your 5 year old rode the school bus to school and is in his 3rd week of summer school preparing for kindergarten.
I am so grateful that my husband has put money on hold for now and instead lets us make sacrificies so I can stay home with the kids. Yea you need money but I would rather get to spend these first years with my child then get to have a big screen tv, or a super nice vehicle. Brandon and Ben say to people all the time when someone says where does you mommy work. She stays at home and takes care of the whole house and us. And people say do you like that and Brandon says yes I do sometimes we dont get to get stuff but I would rather have my mommy home then a new toy. And it makes me feel good that at 5 he understands that and appreciates that. It is funny but going out with the girls is not a priority to me and people say all the time you need to go out and get away. No I dont I am 100% happy and grateful with my life right now. Sitting in front of the tv and watching a movie with my kids and husband is my perfect time. Going out to Red Lobster together as a family is the way we like it. Anyways you can see I am perfectly content today in everything I have.
I worked at a daycare for almost 3 years and that is probably what made me feel this way but it was rush rush rush with those kids in the morning. Mom or dad saying. (hurry up and give me a kiss I am late) or (gosh what a brat we do this same thing everyday) well hello maybe they miss you. Anyways I know some people have to work at that is fine but I am glad me and Josh have changed our priorities for our kids.
