I am a stay at home mom now since i had to sell my photography studio when we moved, I worked all my life up to age 42, now 44 and was a professional photographer 15 of those years. My youngest was 4 weeks old when i went back to work i was in the bed practically 2 months from complications before my delivery, well at 4 weeks old back to work with hardly no sleep and a new baby and another 3 years old i would photograph other peoples children and think you are so lucky you are home with your children. I know it is so hard working and having children because everyday you leave you know you're missing out on a little something. I wish i could've been home then instead of now, however they have needed me to pick them up from school and things like that i think they would respect me more if i was at work. But then again they don't relize the things they would miss out on because i wasn't here. There always 2 ways to look at things. I was very touched by the post because i can relate.

Well put! Everytime I leave to get my hair done, go to Target ALONE, or even sneak into the office for a couple of hours like this morning, I need to remind myself that they need that time just as much as I do! Thank you!

I'm so proud of you – bringing home the (organic) bacon AND frying it up in the pan. You and your hubs make such a great team. Have fun in Austin!

I know this language. And sheesh is that not like the saddest photo you could choose? : ) But weary and fitting, yes.

So perfectly true. I work from home, and sometimes I have the hardest time making myself find the time to work-but it is a fact of life, to pay the bills now it has to happen. So, for those times I feel guiltry for putting on Sesame Street, I'll just have to remember that it makes the other moments possible. :)

Beautiful, and so true. I still leave a little piece of my heart with Luke every single morning, but I'm almost always able to remind myself that I'm working *for* him and that as hard as it is for me, it is good for him in so many ways. In an ideal world, we'd all live in a commune and raise our babies together, but until that happens, doing whatever it is that is best for you and your family is the next best thing.;)
