I was looking back through my old posts tonight and I was wondering what happened to my time? I used to write...Moving back to the city was a blessing for my boys. We enjoyed the animals on the little farm in PA, but we missed the social aspects and opportunities of the city. There is never a dull day around here and I wish I had the time to tell you all about it. I am still traveling to shows on weekends. When I am home during the week I work with my customers in the morning while the kids are at school. As soon as school lets out I am so busy being the chauffeur and cook that there seems to be no time left in the day. Right now Joshua is in two plays and Sean is also in a play. Both boys play instruments and have lessons as well. Parents are expected to get the kids to practices, provide the costumes find the donations and provide the programs etc. Just like millions of other mothers I'm working two full time jobs. But, Oh the Joy! There is nothing better than seeing my talented boys in action.

*This is especially for my friends in Nepal who have never met my children.
I know what you mean. When my kids were young I worked three shifts...in the studio, after school mom doing all the stuff you said, and often several more hours in the studio after they went to bed.
ReplyDeleteBeing a mother is the most important job of all. Mixed joy and hard work.
ReplyDeleteI know your talented boys do you credit!
butternut there's nothing more honourable than loving your children . . . . it's reeeeeally hard work but it brings more goodness into the world and from my perspective as a dad, that alone makes it entirely worthwhile! steven
ReplyDeleteYour boys are beautiful! Love that photo. I miss your posts, but love it when you do post. And honestly, there's nothing more important than being there for your kids.
ReplyDeletethese are the years jennifer, they are so full and lovely and exhausting too.it's hard to imagine it ending. but somehow it does, and now, here, with an empty nest, i wonder where the time went. enjoy your busy days. (i hope you find moments for you too!)
ReplyDeleteJust looked at the video You've got an amazing son. I know the feeling being so busy, combining work and family and then try to do a little blogging
ReplyDeleteI think you have your priorities right. Best wishes with both your mom job and your jewelry job.
