Yes, I WORK!!!

Kavan said to me on Wednesday after I got chilly outside and put on my navy pullover with the Blaine Police emblem:

"You WORK?!"

I wanted to tell him how hard I work. I wanted to tell him being at home all day raising him and his brother and sister is the hardest and most of the time least rewarding job I've ever had. I wanted to tell him I didn't necessarily choose this but I am doing it for him.

Today I said I needed to work for a little bit and I would help him in a few minutes. "You don't work. Daddy works."

In the daily grind of constand demands, whining and fighting, it is hard to remember that someday we will all be thankful for the financial ability we had for me to stay home to raise our kids. For now it would be nice to get an ounce of appreciation.

I appreciate what you do very much sweetie. I know what you do is tough, but like you said, there will come a day when you will be so greatful for being able to stay home with the kiddos. And fairly soon there will be a day when it just simply gets easier. I love you for doing this for us. -hubby
