Peace of Mind

So. This week has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. I went from elated from getting a job offer to heart broken that I would have to leave my munchkin. Back and forth I went back and forth. I should of known posting my decision on facebook was a bad idea because I just kept going back and forth until I went crazy. Every time I made a decision I told myself and my family it was my final decision. and it was not. My heart was literally breaking, Wednesday was a terrible day for me because I just sat on the couch with Henry so sick to my stomach with stress and worry. I didn't know how I would manage our house life with work life and retail isnt forgiving when it comes to family time, vacations and weekends off. Kev and I have the same morals and values, he wants to spend his weekends and holidays with us. As do I. I am over being over worked and underpaid, constantly giving up what is most important to me i.e. family in order to have a career in fashion.

I thought long and hard about walking away from my dream job. I thought about all the benefits it would bring to my family and daily life. And then I realized those benefits would never out way missing out on Henry's life. I am happy to say today that I turned down the position. I am from now on a stay at home mother and couldn't be happier. My heart sings here in my home, like I've said before Im a home-body. I enjoy going out and doing the errands, taking care of the dog, the baby, the house. I enjoy meeting up with my husband for lunch and being home when he gets home. I enjoy seeing him take a load off the second he gets in the door and he has me as his sounding block.

I am most looking forward to having tons of free time to get our life back in order and catch up on all the things we have been putting off. I am REALLY excited about our vacation plans to Cincy, Kansas, Louisville etc. I am so excited to be able to drive down whenever we want to visit with family and no longer having conflicting work schedules. Life will be so much more stress free and our family unit will be very happy indeed. I am so so so so so happy, I wish I could share this love and happiness with everyone, I've truly found my calling in life :)

Today was a double bonus day- I was cleaning the house up and found over $400 in giftcards to our favorite stores from our wedding that we put aside and forgot about. What an awesome way to start the weekend! I was like heck to the yes! Going shopping this weekend for sure! Im not sure about this weather but I hope it warms up soon so that Kev and I can take Henry and Zozo up to the Peninsula walking trail. It's beautiful in the summer time and you can either rent bikes or just walk your dog/push a stroller through the wilderness. They have this adorable little ice cream shop at the beginning of the trail so you can eat, talk and walk. I love the little nooks and crannys of Hudson/Peninsula and how 'Gilmore Girls-ish' it feels. Can't wait to go to our pool either this summer since we completely missed out last summer.

All in all the future looks bright, my heart is full, my soul is happy, my family is warm and snuggled up in my lap and I am blissful.

Have a wonderful weekend- can't wait to dish to you all on what we purchased!
