thoughts of a workin mom

A few months ago I accepted a job at the local school district to be a Sign Language Interpreter. I have soo enjoyed the time I have spent at the school working with with the staff and student. I LOVE using my talents and I LOVE helping pay our medical bills and get us out of the whole financially. I do not LOVE, however, being away from my boys. It is hard when they are sick or just want to be with me, to leave them with a family member or friend and go off to work. I wonder about them constantly, I think about them always.

I have found a great quote that I read everyday and it has helped me while at work.
"What a shame it would be to spend all this time away from home giving only a half hearted effort."
I think about his often and it pushes me to do my best. Another positive thing I have found from being away from home is that when I do come home I cherish EACH SECOND spent with my kids. I dont want to let them watch a movie, because I want that time spend with the two of us. I dont want it to snow because I want to run around outside with them. I dont want to put them to bed because I want to laugh and play with them. I am more in awe of my wonderful blessing than I have EVER been before. I look at their smiles and glow from the heart out! I hear their laughs and joy bursts out my own mouth through the form of giggles! I love them... they are my heart!

Speaking of my heart, Jeremy has been so wonderful helping me with keeping things up around the house. Being soo supportive of me. He ,too, is my heart.

I will be done working in December, and as hard as it has been, it has been worth it. It seems like I have heard somebody say that before "He didn't say it would be easy, He only said it would be worth it." hmmmmm :)

I know that my Heavenly Father knows me. He knows my needs even more than I do. He loves me and my family and blesses them to no end. He is wise, all knowing in fact.
