…and that is the word of the week!
{due to being iced in for 4 days, followed by almost 5 inches of snow for one day}
Being stircrazy for the past 5 days has made me realize that I am grateful! I’m grateful for my fabulous kids, my wonderful husband, AND my great job!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for {and absolutely loved} the family time that we had this week, the breakfast/lunch/dinner as a family of four and the take a 3 hour nap everyday for the past 5 days, but it has also made me grateful for my crazy {otherwise normal} life/job. This week I realized that I would not trade my “start running when your feet hit the ground and do not stop until {at least} 15 hours later” days for anything! I realized that laziness and laying around the house creates more laziness and laying around the house. My house did not get cleaned this week, I did NONE of my teacher homework, and I was a completely lazy! I realized that I would completely fail at the whole stay at home mom thing.
Again, don’t get me wrong, I loved the quality family time that this week brought, but my brain needs a little bit more challenge other than what puzzle are we going to do or what board game are we going to play or what are we going to have for dinner. I’m grateful for my job because it provides me with challenges that otherwise would not come my way. Being a working mom makes me a better mom and wife. It makes me prioritize and get things done all awhile enjoying my family at the same time.
I’m so glad that I can be 100% grateful for my crazy, full speed ahead life my job…
…AND for this….
…AND this…
…AND this…
…AND lastly this…
ALL, at the same time!!!!!
