I think I’m done apologizing for being MIA, and I don’t mean that in a ‘I don’t care’ kind of way. Quite the opposite. I mean it in a ‘I’m living my life and loving it, and sometimes that’s really busy’ kind way. So to me, that means I’ll be in and out and that’s just fine by me.
Life is so interesting sometimes, don’t you think? One minute you’re plugging along and things are going smoothly, and the next minute BAM! A giant curve ball gets thrown your way. I felt that way about a month ago when our new and super awesome nanny gave notice after only 1 month. It was turning out to be too much for her to take on the duties of her own family and mine, so she needed to take back her time. And I totally respect that, but ouch did that one sting a good bit. We only had 4 days to find a replacement, so I sent a little plea up to heaven and hopped onto my giant support system – aka Facebook and you guys. And at that same time I was struck with a very strong impression that I shouldn’t need to do this. I shouldn’t need to find someone else to rely on to watch and care for my children, because I should be doing that. And ouch, did that one sting too.
So on the one hand, we have since found an amazing nanny who is just crushing it with the kids and keeping our little home in order. And on the other hand I was impressed to take on a new role on top of my current full-time work and full-time mom roles. With the knowledge and faith that this new role will help me fulfill that impression – that I should be the one taking care of my littles and my home. I am dreaming big, and loving bigger and it is turing out to be so much more rewarding and fulfilling that I even dreamed it could be. Thank you Father for giving me the strength and courage to listen and follow thee.
