It's Official....

I AM A STAY AT HOME MOM NOW!

I was taking the year off (after working in August and part of September), and then I was going to "re-evaluate" going back to work in the fall. Well, I met with the head master at my school and told him that there was no way I'd be able to leave my baby every day!

Let me back up and say that I have all the respect in the world for the women who do return to work, because I think it would be SUCH a challenge... but I am SO thankful that I am not returning. Working at a private school, the parents are demanding and they don't fully appreciate that when I am home it is "me" time for my family. They would expect a prompt reply to all emails, even if they came in at 9:00 at night. I don't think that that's fair to Cal or Eddie or me.

It feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I am relived to not be returning. I will miss all of my colleagues and the kids and the atmosphere of school, but I wouldn't trade my time with my baby for anything. He's only little once!!!

So, here's hoping my J. Hilburn sales continue! So far, I am doing okay with it and I hope that continues to grow. It's fun, easy, and a way to still have interactions with adults.

To all of the other stay at home mommy's out there reading this.... YAYYYYYY!!!!
