A year ago today- I'd probably be missing a week of work at a "normal" job. My 9 year old just went back to school today- husband is on day 2 of missing work- and I'm hacking up a lung as we speak- BUT- I am not missing a minute of "work". I am so grateful to be a work at home mom- because this week, despite it's crazy-ness, is going to pay off for me. All of my sneezes, coughs, cuddles with kids with fevers, every painful second sitting up at my computer prospecting, working with my team and running my business will have glorious results. Every sleepless hour, spent on my phone doing work I should have done on the computer, but couldn't sit upright for, will pay off.
And- my kids....all they will remember is that Mommy was there for them- she wasn't stressed out on the phone trying to rearrange her schedule, or crying because she's trying to figure out how to eat next week. They will remember that mommy came in and gave them water, crackers, toast and soup. They will remember hugs, kisses and lots of movie time. And, that's the way it should be! I am blessed!
