The Swing of Things

Wow, what a crazy couple of weeks! It seems like Titus and I almost have our non-schedule down pat. I say non-schedule because the only two things on the agenda are church on Sunday and work on Tuesday. Going back to work has definitely been interesting, I only work on Tuesdays and I'm usually there for about 11 hours. It has only been three weeks of this so I am still adjusting, and so are Eric and Titus. I am phoning home less during the day though and Eric is sending me more picture messages, which seems to help! I love being out of the house and contributing to the income but I sure do miss my boy. Eric has Wednesdays and Sundays off, so we get to have a lot of family time. The rest of the week Eric works and Titus and I get to do whatever and go wherever we please. I have never had such a flexible schedule before and it has taken some getting used to. Last week, for example, I completely over did it. There was not a day that we didn't leave the house and on top of that, half the nights people came and saw us. By Monday Titus and I were both an over exhausted mess. Note to self: just because you have free time and truly want to spend time with family, doesn't mean you should at every opportunity! Moderation, moderation. This week has been much more relaxing, we have left the house a couple times and seen a couple people but it has been more spread out with more time to rest in between activities. I'm still trying to get a handle on this whole 'stay at home mom' business but I think I am finally finding a grove that works for me and for the little man. I am so blessed to have a husband that has a great job that can support us, yet he understands my want to work and encourages it. And I am so blessed to be able to be with Titus pretty much all the time, and really be able to take all of him in; seeing him grow and develop little by little every day. This really works for us, for now. Inevitably though change will come. But that's the exciting part; figuring out the different steps and stages of life together and really making them work for our family. 

Until next time, happy blogging!
