A Better Mom



So I have been thinking a lot lately about being a working mom. I really do struggle sometimes, but I don't think I could be a better mom even if a stayed home all day. I drop Coopie off at 7:40 and stay til 8. I go back and spend my lunch hour with him from 11 til 12:20ish. I pick him up at 2:45. All told I am only away for 5 and a half hours and when I pick him up I am so excited to spend all afternoon with him. I very rarely get burned out from him, because every minute is a gift. I love being a mom and I hope and pray that every day he knows how much I love him and am thinking of him. Tomorrow he is coming with me to a Art Educators Conference and we are going to have a great time.

You are a great Mom! I have a lot of worries about doing the working mom thing, but my hope is that it will help me appreciate having the opportunity to be a mother more. You are great!

Cooper is one lucky boy! I'm happy that you're happy being a mom. Where are you guys living these days? How do you like teaching?
