Sometimes I miss the "consistency" of a paying job. You get in your car, stop at Starbucks for a mocha, head into your place of employment and you get to stay there for 8 hours at least! I MISS THAT sometimes. My "schedule" now is very erratic, but, I think that's the norm for a mom raising kids full time. For example today...I wanted my husband to stay home from work so badly. I just wanted his time and attention...well that didn't happen...so Natalie and I got dressed and continued on with our morning, until, she decided she didn't feel well. ENTIRE DAY off track. These little people can change things so very quickly. My volunteering at school had to take a backseat for my little daughter. It just did, her health is far more important than my time at school today.
So, as my little doll is asleep in her crib now, right where she wanted to be...I sit here thinking about the rest of my day. I have an appointment myself this afternoon which my husband will come home for. He will watch Natalie, and he will pick up Aiden from school..after that I'll meet up with my family. I had messaged Rob a bit ago, and said, "just take the afternoon off after you get Aiden and we will spend it together as a family." I was fully expecting a "babe..I can't." Instead I got "I think I can do that!" YAY!!! That made me so happy.
So my unpredictable day is looking up.
Which brings me to my Thankful Thursday...Rob's job. He has a wonderful job that allows him more freedom than most. He is able to come home on occasion...he's able to leave early on occasion...and his job gives us so many blessings...honestly more than I can count. So, this Thankful Thursday I'm thankful for my husband's job. Oh, and, my unpredictable days...they are teaching this OCD girl a thing or two about just rolling with the punches.
