While Mom's away...

As far as being a working Mom goes I've been pretty lucky. I can't say it was my first choice, but I make the most of the time we have together.

I was blessed when I first went back to work that my Mom was able to care for my son pretty much full-time. I didn't have to get my son up and drag him to daycare, he could sleep until he was ready to wake up and see Nana- how great is that.

Closer to the spring my parents business starts to get busier, so I enlisted a friend to help out with Liam's care. She lives not far from my work & has kids close in age to my son. Although it was tough dropping him off and admittedly I shed a few tears on my way to work the first few times, I knew he was in good hands. That is a definite blessing and continues to be to this day!!

My hubby unexpectedly was restructured out of his job- definitely not part of our plan, but worked out to be a blessing of sorts. How many Dads get to stay home with their kids?

Basically I'm thankful that being a working Mom has worked out so well for me and I'm so grateful for everyone who has cared for my wee Liam!
