Back to work....

My Christmas break is over and I am back to work again.  It felt like the shortest 2 week break I have ever had!  It felt like I was just starting to relax and get on top of things at home and then I was back to work again.  It has been a bit of a rocky transition for the family again....

The other day, as I was walking out the door, Aida started crying, and saying, "Please don't go mommy! Please stay home with me!"  When I told her how lucky she was to go play with Eva and Kaitlyn that day, she said, "I have a great idea!  Why don't you come, too!"  Oh, my heart is breaking again, reliving that ordeal.  To rub salt in momma's wound, Aida said at the end of the day, "Mom, how come other moms stay home, but you have to go to work?"  Ouch.

I love my kids. And I miss them so much.  Even though Claire is starting her "terrible two's" and Aida is discovering that she can be naughty and blame Claire and mommy loses it, I still miss my kids.  Here's a couple of recent pictures of my beauties:

Anyway, it was a hard week and I wish it was spring break already!

Oh, your mamma heart! I so appreciate your honesty in your blog! I find you a complete refreshing soul to my heart as you write. Bless you! I believe that as long as you are working as the Lord has led you (and I believe you know that), then He also has plans for Aida & Claire in their childcare. Experiences & lessons they need to learn for their lives as they grow. Those who love & follow the Lord are in the perfect places He has for them. Hugs!

Oh, your girlies are so cute, love those pictures!

Your girls have so much fun when they're here. Our four are like little best friends. The way they chat, play (and even argue), they are so comfortable with each other. And, they are, all four, learning so much about sharing, playing together, taking turns, and being independent. I am so proud of each of them. They are learning and growing so much together.

I hope this week gets better for you, and you start getting your groove back! Last week was rough over here, too. I'm starting to get back into the swing of things, though.

Hang in there, I'm sure your weeks are flying by as fast as mine- spring break will be here before you know it :)
