I've truly enjoyed being a full time SAHM these past few months.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484607337052505871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852456697006944257.post-1258957046303523442010-07-29T08:34:06.167-04:002010-07-29T08:34:06.167-04:00It's definitely a difficult balancing act, but...It's definitely a difficult balancing act, but once you get in the routine you'll become super mom and make it all work. During the week I only get 30 minutes with Ty in the mornings and an hour in a half in the evenings.<br /><br />I hate that we spend more time away from each other during the week than we do together. But, like you said, you just have to make your time count. No phone calls, no house cleaning, no distractions.<br /><br />My time with Ty is precious and I soak every second in. Some days are tough, but for the most part it all works and are family bond is strong!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920816691217676013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852456697006944257.post-40199128342612201122010-07-29T07:34:18.495-04:002010-07-29T07:34:18.495-04:00Things are never easy, are they?

So maybe its not quite quantity vs quality, but quality and quantity, all mixed together!Richelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646841482227401311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852456697006944257.post-42051310453687301262010-07-29T02:10:17.510-04:002010-07-29T02:10:17.510-04:00Dear Melba!!

I've worked part time but, in situations where my children have gone with me.<br />Now, after having adopted #3, I'm faced with going back to work full time! I feel exactly like you described!!! Excited, anxious, guilty, unsure...........<br />I think I feel most guilty about wanting to return for me......but, not being here for #3 like I have been for 1 and 2!!!<br />SO hard to be a mommy!!!<br />Yes, many do it but, doesn't make it easier when it is you and your child!<br />Thanks!! hugs!<br />beckyBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057393478776308396noreply@blogger.com
