Long Time No Blog

It has been one full week of staying at home with Samantha. It is so nice to get to spend time with her and not worry about work. No rushing in the morning to get out the door to daycare and work. No getting home late after picking Sami up from daycare, rushing through dinner to have only an hour of time to spend playing with her before bed. No work stress. No eating junk food and drinking soda while sitting on my butt at a computer all day. ~No money.~ So Joe and I have decided that this is just my somewhat summer vacation. I am going to watch a friend's baby in July for a few weeks (super excited!!!) and then I plan on getting back to work-somewhere-by mid-August. My hat's off to all of the mom's out there who are able to stay at home with their children. I need to get back to work so that I can keep us (as my dad says) in the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. ~Kate
