I hope you can enjoy every moment at home you have with your boys and cherish those sweet memories every day that you are teaching.

I feel really guilty that I was home for my oldest and only home with my youngest for 2 years.It breaks my heart as I know it does yours too. I trying to be thankful for the time that I did have with them. Just know you're not the only one. We can all support each other.

It was so hard even though, yes, we had a great sitter, a good job, insurance, etc. We are much luckier than other parents and yet it is still hard for me to go back to work each Monday morning because I love spending time with my child and helping him to grow. <br /><br />I know you are a strong woman -- you had a child on your own -- literally! You can do this..even though you don't want to or feel you can't. If you need to do it and it is the best thing for your boys and your family...I know you can. I'll keep you in my prayers!Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-56340246365498344682009-12-06T15:11:10.558-08:002009-12-06T15:11:10.558-08:00i feel ya, i think we both were dreading january s...i feel ya, i think we both were dreading january so very muchThe Newlywedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967249234338223803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-19867228580211039032009-12-05T20:22:27.883-08:002009-12-05T20:22:27.883-08:00You are such a strong person, I wish all of these ...You are such a strong person, I wish all of these things for you...don't ever quit hoping...that will help you thru the long days.<br /><br />Hugs!Mendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358347023807387240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-21771025648323801092009-12-05T20:10:33.038-08:002009-12-05T20:10:33.038-08:00I hear you and feel your pain through your words. ...I hear you and feel your pain through your words.

And hopes that a check even bigger then 20,000 will fall into your hands soon, so that you can birth many more babies and have many more amazing birth stories to share with us here!
