Changes happen all the time. They are apart of life. Some of them are major like moving across the country or the birth of a child. Others are small and subtle like changing plans due the weather. However small or large they maybe they are all around us. I for one have always had a hard time with change.
Last year at this time I found myself looking for a change. Feeling that I needed one in order to find happiness. I ended up taking a part time job after being home for 6 years. I loved my job and made friends that I hope will last a lifetime. I do not regret for a second going back to work the last year. However, I find myself sitting here almost exactly a year later realizing that sometimes we NEED change .Change can teach us things, help us grow and sometimes make us realize exactly where we need to be. As I looked around at the boys the other day it hit me. Dylan is starting junior high. Mason is starting first grade. William has ONE year left before he is able to start Pre K. I longed for my life the year before when at home was my full time job. Caring for these boys and our home was what I did 24 hours a day. To some that may seem simple and boring to me it's my world. It's what I long to do and love to do. I decided after some great thought to go back to doing just that for the next couple of years. I gave my notice. The girls were wonderful. They let me know how much they would miss me and I will miss them as much. They all understood though I have no doubt.
So a week from today I will be going back to exactly where I was a year ago. Just being a mom and wife. Something I took for granted and did not even stop and realize how wonderful it is that I have the ability to make that decision due to having a hard working husband who just wants to me to do whatever makes me the happiest.
