So Im in the middle of a week off work with tonsillitis and other related infections. Everyone has been sick around here. Except Chanelle. And then Alyssa is here too so it is even more crowded than usual.



It has been good to connect with home again. LIke I said last post, I would give an aweful lot to be able to stay home full time again.



Isn't it wierd how you don't appreciate stuff like that when you have it. I used to be so frustrated with being at home with the kids all the time. I defnitely didn't enjoy it. And I hated housework. Now I don't mind keeping the house tidy - although I could never be accused of being a neat freak, and crave time at home. and time with the kids. I just can't get enough these days.



I wish I could have done it the other way around... If I could have worked and felt this way first and THEN had to stay home with the little ones I would have loved it! and I think I would have been a better mother for them... although you never know do you. It is easy to look at something that isn't happening right now and imagine that it would be great - the grass is always greener and all that. The odd time when I take care of Grace or Cody for Shel, those little chatterbox pinklings (that is what I call them since they wear pink every minute of every day) drive me crazy!! they never stop talking and they need you ALL THE TIME.
