Oh, yes please. I am so unmotivated when I’m by myself. But I think you would run away screaming when you were confronted by ALL my pictures. I’m pretty sure my husband has violated some sort of regulation somewhere…

Thanks Christina – yes, things are definitely starting to make sense. Finally! I still play the “shoulda/coulda” game occasionally but I think that’s all part of the process. Keeps life interesting! =)

I used to dance around “should of, would of, could of” quite a bit. It seems to lessen as we get older thank god. You have a nice family.

Thanks Brandy! I try to remind myself, almost hourly, how lucky I am to be home. Jack makes it a leeetle difficult to cherish it all. =)

I went through my old pictures this weekend and have to admit there were some tears. I really miss my days of being exactly where you are. It’s easy to say, “Cherish them, they don’t last,” but it’s harder to actually do it.

It sounds like you’re comfortable with where you are AND open to positive change. I think this is really wonderful. Your kids are gorgeous.

Yeah, that’s what I figure. If anybody needs proof of my need to be home, I can show them both the baby powder and tupperware pictures. Those kids need supervision! =)

Yep. You’re right where you are supposed to be. How many people can say that with such certainty AND photographic evidence?
