For those of you that may not know, I am a single mother of 5 kids.. yep I said 5. Well only 4 live at home. My oldest (Brandon 21) is away at college. So that leaves Ethan (18 on 3/17) Emma-16 , Jake-10 and Mollie-4months old home with me. Working full time and having a newborn that sleeps during the day and parties all night makes for one tired mommy. Then there is all the things i do for the other 3 kids plus cook and clean and laundry. So being able to take this Sabbatical is a blessing in itself. Mollie has within the last couple weeks started sleeping at night and only waking up once or twice. Thank you Jesus! So this first week of my sabbatical, I have literally slept the entire time. I drop Jake off at school, Mollie off at daycare and go home and sleep. Pick Mollie up at noon and we both come home and nap some more..lol After a week of this, I finally feel like I have energy to do things. Today is the first day I didn’t come home and sleep. Hence the reason I’m finally blogging. I really am so thankful for this opportunity to have this time off. Jake has had a hard time with me having to work full time. He was only 7 when I had to start working, so he is really enjoying having me at home when he gets out of school and being able to spend more time with me. I’m loving it too! I miss my “stay at home mom” days!
Well hopefully week 2 will be more productive.. lol
