Going back to work has really changed our lives dramatically. Even though I am home by 400pm almost everyday, our evenings are so busy. Packing lunches, cleaning house, baths, small group, and whatever comes up. While we don't have the time for all the crafty projects and baking fun we used to have, I still do what I can to make everyday special. I struggled with this at first, not being able to do everything I used to do, but that is not what makes our days special. Our days are special because we all have each other. Being together makes reading, coloring, dancing, going to the library, going to Walmart, getting coffee, watching TV, playing cars, eating dinner, and whatever else special. I used to think it was doing these things made our days special and memorable, but now I realize that just being together is what special really is. My only struggle now is to not get so busy trying to make everything perfect that I miss moments to make our everyday activities special!
