Well, it certainly has been forever and a half since I have posted a blog. Needless to say, things have been very busy for the three of us. I discovered that I spread myself WAY to thin this fall taking on staying at home, working my Southern Living at Home business, and going to graduate school. Things are winding down for the holidays, and I finally feel like I have a handle on things again. School finished up well for me. I am pleased with my grades. I have decided that I will not be taking any classes this spring. To be fair to Jackson, David, and myself this is truly the best decision. My business is doing well, and I hope to keep the momentum going. I was able to have members join my team and have several great parties. I even earned a free trip to Las Vegas! I will be going this January. As for being at home, I think I have a gaumet (spelling?) of emotions.
I love it. I love seeing Jackson grow up every day and feel like I am playing a major part in the person he is becoming. He is so full of innocence and eager to learn new things. I hate it. I hate being trapped in the house on rainy, cold days wondering what all of my friends are doing. I hate it when people say, "oh" in that pity-strained tone when they discover I am "just a" stay at home mom. I laugh at it. I laugh when there are moments I am juggling too many things at once. I laugh when I eat it and only Jackson sees me fall on my face. I am in awe of it. I am in awe of how I got through some of these days. Let's face it, a crying baby in pain from teething is just no fun. I am in awe of the beautiful blessing I get to hold, tickle, cuddle, and kiss all day long.
