officially a work at home mom.

ya'll. it is happening.

as of now, i am officially a work-at-home mommy.

whoa.

anyone who knows me, reads this little blog, or puts up with me on FB knows loud & clear this is what i've been working for. in my perfect world joey will make millions and i can quit work totally to be a full time mommy & wife, but this is the real world- that just ain't happenin'. since coming to terms with that i've worked hard to find a way to provide for my family financially, while also finding the balance of work/mom/wife.

i did a trial week last week having adelynn home with me since daycare was closed. overall, it went REALLY well. i absolutely loved having her here, and felt way more like a mama then i had in a while. with her in daycare and me working- i really only got to see her for a few minutes in the morning, then when she got home we had an hour (maybe 2) of playtime/dinner/bath and then bed. so i felt like we had no quality time. after last week, it is now weird to be sitting here all alone without my girl. (she is in daycare right now).

i spoke to my bosses, joey, my mommy, my bff, etc. decision has finally been made- we're getting her out of daycare and home with me. exciting & scary! Exciting because i finally get to be a full time mommy and raise my baby. We will be saving a really good chunk of money which will help a TON. Scary cause i'm nervous about being able to really do this. yes last week went well, but i know there will be days/weeks that will just be hard and overwhelming, every day will be different and i'll face different challenges. i'm not a big fan of change, it makes me anxious! and i have a big fear of the unknown! thats just my normal kelly-ness. plus i know her spot at daycare will go quick, so we won't have that safety net of 'oh if it doesn't work out we'll just put her back in daycare'. we love and adore our daycare provider, she has quickly become part of the family.

i've also got to learn to let go a bit. let the house be a mess, realize i can't do it all, go with the flow and just take it a day at a time- figure out what works and what doesn't.

overall, this is a win.

nervous, excited, but overall ecstatic that this is finally happening. in two weeks, my girl will be by my side-always.

Thank you, God.
