sad but necessary....

I have mixed emotions about what will happen this week. For the first time in a very long time I will be returning to work. I always told myself that when I had children I would never work, at least not until they were school aged. Well lets face it, that's not only an improbability these days but most likely a lot of parents will have to (unless they are extremely blessed) do so at some point. I am going to be working midnight's so I'm really praying that I will be fortunate enough to be up and with my children all day until I put them to bed in the evening. I am not working weekends so that is a bonus but I still think I will miss being at home and in bed with my family most nights of the week. I only plan on doing this temporarily until John finds a better paying or 2nd job. I also will continue to be a Thirty-One Consultant and Reliv Distributor. One day my dream is that John and I will both be stay at home parents and that we'll be able to travel and do the things we enjoy not only in the summer but through out the year. I would really like to focus more on my photography and possibly do more with it. I really have been missing the opportunity of being behind the lens and capturing some of God's beautiful creations. My goals are changing but my priorities are the same. God FIRST, family SECOND and job THIRD. That being said, we will see how this work thing goes. If it pans out I will most likely stay for awhile just to gather up some spending money for the summer months. If it doesn't then I'll be booking more shows and lining up some more photography gigs for these next few months to come :)
