While it's getting more difficult financially, me not having a job and all, I feel I am becoming a better parent. I am spending great quality time with my girls and I'm starting to love it. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I've never loved spending time with them, but I'm really LOVING it.
When I worked full time, weekends were spent doing laundry, changing sheets, doing things that couldn't be done during the week. We never had fun.
Now we are and I'm so glad I have the opportunity to do this before Grace starts kindergarten in a few weeks (crap, I'm crying just thinking about it).
I've become a better mom and a better person. I'm actively working on my patience and I think this has been a good tool for me. It's not all sunshine and roses every day.....but there has been a lot less yelling from me and a lot more smiles and hugs and kisses.
I'm so blessed to have this opportunity.
See? I told you things get better! :)
