I just realized that I have not blogged since my 1st day of work! I have been a busy bee for sure!!! Being a stay-at-home mom kept me busy in a different way than being a working mom has! By the end of my days i'm just so mentally and physically exhausted that all I want to do is come home, fix dinner, snuggle with my kiddos, and GO TO SLEEP!!!!!! I miss the freedom that being a stay-at-home mom gave me, but I know that I have chosen the right thing at this point in our lives. Being able to go to work everyday has made me hopeful for the future and to start saving up for stuff for the kiddos and things we want to do as a family. I know my kids are also in a good place during the day--surrounded by teachers that I know truly care about them and love them. It amazes me to see all the different activities they partake in and all that they are learning. It just makes my heart melt!! I miss them so so so so much during the day... but I am content and I know that they are truly benefiting from being around other children and that I am also benefiting myself by working, learning, and continue to grow in a career.
I have found myself very stressed lately for more reasons than one... and I have tried to talk myself into realizing to have a little patience, strength, and faith and the rest will fall into place. I do miss home for more reasons than one, but I especially miss home when I know people from back at home need me and I can't be there! My mother-in-law has been going through a bit of a difficult time lately and I wish I could be there for her more on a daily basis. She is coming to AL this week (should arrive late Thursday night) and I requested for Friday off so we can take a family trip and try to get her mind off of things. I know it is something she desperately needs and I want to make sure that Cesareo and I can do all that we can to make her forget about her worries for a bit. I know this trip is something that is desperately needed and hopefully everything will work out. I have also had a friend going through some major changes in her life and I just want her to be happy and to trust in God that he has made all of the right choices for her and that everything will work out in the end. Lots of unspokens right now-- that I've just been praying hard for :)
C must be sensing my stress level-- because yesterday he bought steaks to be grilled and bought me a bouquet of flowers :) They are BRIGHT orange, HOT pink, and BRIGHT blue flowers! I love them! They are so, so, so gorgeous!!! We both are working a lot, but we are both very grateful for the amount of work. That means our companies are doing well and that's reassuring. Michelin here has been so great to him and to the family! They are having their annual family day in August and that is always soooooo much fun for kiddos. Even though it is production based they have been great with working with him if he needs a day off for any reason, he has co-workers that send Bella home coins because they know that's how we reward her for going potty and all of the other things she does well! We give her change to put in her HUGE crayola crayon piggy banks. They really are a great organization and he is very blessed to work for them and to have the co-workers he has. I feel like I work with an amazing bunch too. I work with individuals who always try to help out, make a bad day better, and they have taught me a lot.
Cesareo has gotten called back into work for who knows how long.... so the kiddos and I are going to snuggle on this rainy Sunday and then I have some errands to run and I promised to take them to the mall to ride the horsey. Hoping for a fantastic day before it's back to the working grind. I am realllllllly hoping to get back into my working out grind! That is something that has majorly effected me is not being able to work out as much as I was used to. I need to get back to my Zumba and Booty Camp!
It's a NEW DAY, a start of a NEW WEEK, and hopefully a NEW attitude.... about a lot :)
