I have been very fortunate with this job, going on 5 + years and counting. With another child on the way, we cannot afford to not have health insurance. DH's job is stable, but it does not offer insurance. I like my job and it comes with an excellent benefits package for all in the family to enjoy. With the set up of another entity, my responsabilities have increased greatly in the last couple of months. I'm not complaining, I love what I do and everyday I leaned something new. Perhaps later down the road, I can cut down on hours and become part time so I can concentrate more on the kids and help them with their daily activities, homework, etc. I guess I have never thought become a at stay home mom. I believe that I can juggle both careers well without sacrificing either. Some days are tougher that others, but in the end, I like both and I think I am doing a good job at raising my kid (soon to be two) and taking care of my family.
Of course, I will like to have more time to learn photography, or cook an elaborate meal, or scrapbooking, and of course read blogs all day long (ha!). Right now, It's just not the right time. To keep the house clean, laundry done and a hot meal on the table is not hard work for me, and at the same time, fulfill the daily grind. Time spend with family is what's lacking around here. That leaves us the only the weekends to spend together. And while I try to make it the most of it, Sunday night comes around so quick and we start all over again. So, lately, I've been "living" for weekends only to spend with my family and tried to stay away from the computer checking things from work, or personal email, or browsing the e-stores looking for a great buy. So, there you have it, in a nutshell, what my daily 8-5 has been lately.
Thank you for letting me vent!
