I say the word "blessings" or "blessed" often, not because I'm extremely religious, but because it describes how I feel about my life perfectly. I, honestly, don't know that I've done anything in this life that was deserving of the wonderful things that have happened to me. Mostly, I mean my family. I have an amazing husband, and now an amazing son.


Every time I look at my baby, I think about how lucky I am to be able to stay home and take care of him. I know that there are a lot of mothers out there who would love to be in my position. I truly sympathize because even the thought of having to leave him with a sitter makes my heart ache. Though my husband has the security of knowing the baby is with me, I know he hates having to leave him as well.

I realize I may sound a little over the top, but I assure you I'm not. My husband and I were together for 8 years before we had our baby and we were very accustomed to an independent lifestyle. I used to think how ridiculous those people were who had to call and check on how their baby was doing in the middle of dinner. Now, I understand. Sometimes it can get so hard during the week. All I can think is about getting a break; but as soon as I'm away from my baby, I miss him. Even I think that's crazy.

I don't know how people do it except that they have to. With the economy the way it is, families need two incomes just to survive. That's assuming there are two incomes to have. Nowadays, there are so many parents out there, going it alone. My hats off.

Don't get the wrong idea, I am not wealthy by any means. I work from home and I do okay. Mostly my husband and I have simplified our lives to the point that we don't ask for much. Yet our lives are full and I'm thankful.

I think that it's important to say that once in awhile, so you don't forget the ... Blessings!
