Yesterday I went to my first prenatal appointment since I stopped working. My midwife comes in the room and says "oh, you look much better! Working while pregnant does not suit you, does it?" *sigh* She is right. It kind of made me laugh.
The mind is willing but the body is not able. I think I stopped working just in time, if not a couple weeks too late.
David and I agree that what is best for our family is that I stay home with our children and homeschool them. I am so grateful for his support. Not just because we are in agreement but also because I know I am not one of those women who can "do it all" and not have either a physical or emotional breakdown. I applaud the women who do, but sometimes I wonder how hard it must be for them.
Believe me, motherhood is a FULL TIME job. You work 24-7 with few breaks, and yet, it is the best job I ever had. I love being a Mommy. I love cooking dinner every night and taking care of my family. It feels right and it feels balanced. I am so thankful we are back to this balance now.

I finally caught up on reading your posts - it's so hard sometimes.
I love reading what you write. It just makes me happy. I love being a SAHM as well, and I feel the same way about working somewhere structured. I don't think I could do it.
I'm grateful for YOU, Sara.
