Life as a stay-at-home mom...

I was very afraid that my decison to leave work would be one that I regretted shortly after making it...but, I am happy to say, that I am really settling in to my new life.  Although, I am still tired and stressed much of the time, I feel much more capable of handling all that is on my plate.  With Patrick being gone every week, while working, I never felt in control of anything really...just felt like I was being dragged from one obligation/responsibility to another and hoping I didn't drop the ball somewhere...

So now, even though Patrick is gone during the week like always, and there is still a lot to handle, I am somewhat thriving off my to-do lists, time playing/napping with the girls, and actually have given myself a break on the days when I really just don't have the motivation to do much...

I am excited about our adventures this summer...we are going to take a two week road trip up the East coast and spend some time with Patrick in Vermont and old friends in Maine.  Then, the girls are going to spend a week with the Daleys sometime in July.  I have a ton of ideas for activities--thanks to Pinterest--and can't wait for this summer off with my girls!!! :) 

Then, after the summer, if I still am enjoying being a mom ;) I am hoping we can get pregnant with #3!!  We'll see...I am a little gun shy after what happened two Thanksgivings ago, but we'll see what's meant to be!!
