I Quit!!!

For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom. It started before I even had any kids. Even before I was married, I struggled with what type of career path to go down. I mostly just wanted to be a mother. There were a few things that I was interested in but nothing that really grabbed me. Unfortunately, that wasn't ever an option. For one reason or another, I had to work and it had to be full time. Before September, I had been at the same job for five years. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't what I wanted to be doing. I left that job for something that I thought would be more fulfilling but it turned out I wasn't happy in my new career either.

I had feelings of failure when the new job didn't work out until my awesome hair lady made me realize that I was in that new job for a reason. If I hadn't have gone there and been unhappy, I wouldn't be where I am now, drum roll please, a SAHM! Shocking, I know. Bet you didn't see that one coming. It was being at that job and being so unhappy that gave me the motivation to make staying home an option. Last Thursday was my last day working a "nine to five" (I wish) in an office. It's taking/has taken some sacrifices and some changes, but in the grand scheme of things, I would take these sacrifices gladly to be able to stay home with my babies. They grow up too fast and I already feel like I have missed so much. I am truly the happiest I have been for as long as I can remember. I finally feel like I'm where I'm suppsed to be, doing what I'm supposed to do. It's funny how much a person can change when they are happy and fulfilled. I'm actually excited about cleaning and organizing this house of mine. Hopefully none of you who know me just passed out!

Yesterday, we went to the park:

Now pardon me while I go stop the baby from eating doggie food! :)
