I was listening to the General Young Women's conference, there was a talk about what the future holds for our Young Women and how their future is so bright. It made me start to think about my future. This fall will be a big change for me...all the kids will be in school full time. A new chapter of my life will begin :) I am excited for it and have a sense that it will be the beginning of something great for me and my family. I already have people asking me if I am going to start working outside of the home once all my kids are in school. The time just doesn't feel right for that yet. I have been asked if I will go back to school. I have my associates degree but not my bachelors. The time also doesn't feel right for that. Lets be honest, I don't think our family could financially handle both parents being in school. I know I couldn't handle it mentally with both of us dealing with homework :) So what does my future hold for me....I am not sure. But I feel like I am doing what I am suppose to be doing...Being the MOM! My kids have been sick this week and it reaffirmed my "purpose" of being the best mom I can. Miss.S even said "mom, I am so glad you are here to help me when I don't feel good. You could be doing other things instead of rubbing my back and emptying my throw up bowl, I love you for taking care of me." Now after a statement like that how can I not acknowledge that the home is where I am needed for this season of my life. I know it won't last forever...but I feel peace and comfort in knowing I am where I am suppose to be.

I think that sounds like a great future! You are a great mom! I am also so thankful to have you watch Lilly....she loves your family!
Being a mom is never easy but it is rewarding. Just hearing those sweet comments makes me feel good. I don't think you can ever spend too much time with your family. Love you
I totally get it. I don't love family sickness, but one of my favorite parts of being a SAHM is being her for the sick days. I love knowing I don't have to call in sick to work or make arrangements to help my kids.
