Working Mother
My students started on Monday and my summer and days as a fulltime stay at home mother is over (for the time being). I started back and am in my 5th year teaching Junior High PE. I am now a working mother. This is not a title I would have ever thought I would have, especially with my baby so young but I feel that under the circumstances I have been blessed. I have a great schedule and only have to work part-time. I can get home around 11:30 AM or so. Right now my wonderful husband Brian is having the opportunity to watch Dean while I am away. What a great bonding time they are having. I have found a babysitter close to home and someone I trust when Brian has to end his role as a stay at home dad. Overall even though it is not what I would prefer, I am going try to make these next 9 months (the length of my school year and contract) the best I can. Then next year if all goes as we are planning I hope to say "I am a fulltime stay at home mother". I love being a mom!

I love the way you are approaching your circumstances right now. I'm happy for you - for all you have been blessed with. I bet you are a fun teacher!
I bet it's so difficult to be away from that sweet baby, but you're right about all the blessings in your life. Life certainly doesn't always go as planned - but keep enjoying the journey!
I'm sure that you and Brian will continue to be blessed and that everything will work out.
Hey Becky, I'm excited you have a blog! Even though you live just down the street I don't get to talk to you that much. It will be good to keep up better with you guys! I think its great that Brian gets to spend some one on one time with Dean. -Nicole Rust(I see you have another nicole that already made a comment, so I thought I better put my last name)
You have such a beautiful family and a gorgeous blog. I'm so glad I won't have to wait YEARS to see you anymore. Thank goodness for this blogging thing. I'll check back often!

hey becky! i'm so glad we can check in on eachother. 9 months is going to go by sooo fast and then hopefully you can be home with that sweet boy even more!
I worked half days the first year Kimball was born and I loved every minute I spent with him. Now that I am at home with him all day, I treasure every moment even more having been away!
ditto on what my mom said - you have such a great attitude about it. Im actually a little jealous - I think it would be fun to go play PE for a few hours a day - and get paid! Dean is lucky to have such a great mommy.
It is so nice that Brian can watch him while you are away for now. You seem to have a great schedule too!
