I just want to share with you my feelings on this topic. Steve and I had our first kid (boy) in November. I am somewhat of a work-a-holic and went back to work 2 weeks or so after he was born. Not full time, but here and there. I have been lucky to have a job where I get salary and can make my own hours. Obviously this isn't typical, but despite that, I have a few points to make: 1. working and mommying can work together-you aren't a bad mommy if you have to work (or choose to). 2. i feel like the time i do have with nash is even better because my absense makes me miss him and i take full advantage of that time. it sucks that we can't all be independently wealthy and sit by the pool with our beautiful babies all day, but i think we (and our kids) are all the better for the effort we are making to better our lives. anyway, just my two cents. and here's one more thing: just be grateful that this is most likely a temporary state-lots of people have this dilemma and don't have an end in sight.{lizzythebotanist}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01016697635594333439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017694495112892758.post-37473000539060297862007-06-07T09:58:00.000-07:002007-06-07T09:58:00.000-07:00Good luck with the job thing.

Not a fun position, but I know you'll do what's right!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071148585907912888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017694495112892758.post-70192267200223720252007-06-05T13:35:00.000-07:002007-06-05T13:35:00.000-07:00Oh soo cool!

Anyways, I know what you mean. Aubry is going to be going to the JD/MBA program finally and he has to take courses for the GMAT and LSAT this summer to take the exams. Obviously he doesn't have a job yet and these courses cost $1,000+ and that's just not money we have right now. But i know that as we continue to put the Lord first He will continue to bless us in our endeavors. Continue to have faith and i know the Lord will continue to provide. I hope that it does work out with Karim because that will help give you some peace of mind (expecially if you can work from home, which was always the case at pinnacle if they'd let us). We miss you guys!!!<BR/><BR/>PS. I love the hat!!!!<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553665488741937280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5017694495112892758.post-71139416794139096352007-06-05T12:38:00.000-07:002007-06-05T12:38:00.000-07:00Hey Ashley, this is mary.
