The "Other" Days

Some days I wake up and go to work with very little problems and little to no guilt. This morning was not that day. In fact it would qualify as those "other days." What I suspect a lot of working mom's go through are the days where our children are growing before our very eyes and we long for just "one more day" with them. At these times I long for more time at home.

But in the back of my mind I know I am blessed. Blessed with a wonderful husband/ daddy who is VERY involved with our son's raising and care as well as housework and fix-it projects that need to be done. I am blessed with a sister-in-law who helps watch him when we need and who loves him as much as we do and knows his idiosyncracies in and out. After all she was there throughout the pregnancy, the birth, and his whole life thus far.

I try and dwell and these thoughts instead of the guilt. We are blessed with friends and resources beyond my wildest dreams. I get to work to support my family and provide for them in the ways I had always dreamed. And I wouldn't trade Nampa for nearly anything.

But see these pictures? This is why it's impossible to leave this adorable guy more often than not. He is just too wonderful and adorable. I am so lucky.
