After almost 5 months at home, I'm going back to work. I start a new job on Monday. It's bittersweet, of course. I knew that we couldn't afford to have me stay home and I'm excited to start a new job, but I also love staying home with my kids. It's going to be hard to leave them every day. 5 months has gone by so fast. It's the longest I've ever been unemployed since I started working at 16. Even both of my maternity leaves were only 12 weeks. Since I left AmWINS...
...I will have been home a total of 145 days.
...we celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's and Easter.
...Natalie turned 2 and Toby turned 5 (and Tim turned 32, but he's not really counting).
...we went to the ER once.
...we went to the Children's Museum twice.
...we made one snowman.
...we decorated two Christmas trees.
...I went one night with only an hour of sleep (gotta love those Black Friday shopping deals).
...I taught Toby how to write his name.
...I taught Natalie how to count to 10 (and sometimes 11).
...we watched 644,751 episodes of Little Bear, Max & Ruby & Spongebob.
...I took 3 overnight trips away from home.
...I did a bazillion loads of laundry and endless sinks full of dishes.
I wish I had another 5 months! I don't think I did enough with the 5 I've had already.
