I think that's the solution...a little part-time journalism or something like that on the side. You have lots to write about...you've been through more than most people in this world, and you're only 27!! Okay, it's decided.

If I got into our office and work I miss it even more but then I get home and realize I couldn't be away from my 2 babies 40 hours a week. That being said, I am launching a new business adventure and I have used my brain more in the last week than I have in the last 5 years (at least). It's pretty dusty in there but she's coming around!!<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing you soon!Steph Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14384442832679645949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094165732672232021.post-73604233243358856312008-07-23T21:04:00.000-06:002008-07-23T21:04:00.000-06:00I can't wait until you girls get home!

God usually snaps me back to gratefulness pretty quick, though, since I prayed and wanted to stay home more than ANYTHING!<BR/>That being said, the important thing is that we realize He is in control and knows our hearts more than we do!<BR/>(I also like what Amanda said about the part-time job- that's what I do and I think it is the perfect balance!)<BR/>Love ya girl!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274828412033940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094165732672232021.post-42032135362473389312008-07-15T19:42:00.000-06:002008-07-15T19:42:00.000-06:00I love your honesty Erin.

I would also recommend volunteering in women's ministry, or in MOPS where you can dress up and feel like a "big girl" without the stress of a job.<BR/><BR/>I hear you sooo loud and clear!

Musical Chairs! <BR/><BR/>I don't have kids yet, but I've never been able to picture myself staying home when I do...for the exact reasons you mentioned. Plus, I'm scared my brain will turn to mush. ha! I know it must get tough sometimes. I just said a quick prayer for you, that you will be content right where you are!<BR/><BR/>PS-I love that Chili's commercial. :)Lyndsay Almeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925222950211857614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094165732672232021.post-40107799766901975732008-07-15T09:45:00.000-06:002008-07-15T09:45:00.000-06:00My mom always says that a part time job is a mom's...My mom always says that a part time job is a mom's best friend. Hmmmm. I have to say that I have greatly enjoyed going to my office one day a week. Even so, one day is enough for me. MOPS is awesome. You should definitely look into it.

I had that same struggle to be at work when I was home with the boys, and during the school year it isn't that bad, but during the summer I want to be at home with them doing fun stuff like walking to the park or going to the pool. I guess we just can't have it all can we? Just make the most of what the situation is while we are in it.<BR/>MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094165732672232021.post-68374231678565744752008-07-14T23:08:00.000-06:002008-07-14T23:08:00.000-06:00Erin, I cannot begin to tell you how many times I'...Erin, I cannot begin to tell you how many times I've had these EXACT same feelings. It's the reason that I had post-partum for 9 months after I had Jakson...at the same time I know women who LONG to be able to stay at home with their children and because of financial reasons are not able to-I feel lucky that I get to make the decision to be home. Although I wasn't in the "corporate world" (as a teacher)-I loved my career, loved the teachers I worked with, and loved being a reading specialist -people actually used to listen to me and not just throw tantrums!! <BR/><BR/>But then Jak will be sick or have a rough day and I think-how could I leave when no one else cares about him as much as I do? That's what keeps me home.bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726833244459808309noreply@blogger.com
