(photo)i've been thinking about whether or not to put sweet pea in ski lessons for february. i had my arguments all prepared to opt out. why not just put them both in lessons next year and have a little tuesday ski day all to myself? and then it dawned on me that in august sweet pea will start kindergarten and our tuesdays will never be the same. we have 25 tuesdays left together. and then it will be me and beans solo. and i'm happy in so many ways to get some one on one time with the little guy. but i can so vividly remember how thankful and happy i was when my boss told me i could have tuesdays off to stay home with sweet pea. i wanted so badly to stay home with him all the time. i didn't know any full time working moms. not a one. she sensed my struggle and really gave me the best of both worlds...at least the best for our situation....i have been so fortunate in that way. that was four years ago can you believe it? my how the time flys. guess that decides it. skiing in february.
time goes by so fast. this post brought a tear to my eye..... hang on to every little moment you can.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe our first born are going to be kindergarteners so soon?!?! Feels like just yesterday we were comparing pregnancy woes at work every day.
ReplyDeleteI know I don't have to tell you this but you really are LUCKY to have one day a week. I was doing two half days a week last year but that was with the expectation that I was "working from home". That never did work out the way I wanted it to for Arielle and I so I had to give it up for both of our sakes. Being a full time working mom is really, really hard. The weekends go by WAY to quickly.
