Not returning to Work !!!



You will quickly notice most of my blogs will be about Elianna.
Like I said she is my everything !!






She's a cheeky Lil Monkey too !!


I really wish I had a better cam, lol. But we do alright with the one we do have.



So I have decided to NOT return to work !!
YEA ! ! ! ! ! !


I dropped off my "not returning" letters to both my previous jobs this week.
I knew I wasnt going to go back from the time Elianna was about 4 months old.
I can not imagine another person looking after MY daughter.
"I am" not ready to have her left alone without me.

I've decided I'm going to do home daycare.
I think it should be MY right to stay home and raise my child.
I know A Lot of people dont agree with that but I don't care, lol.
I've been told "oh you'll regret not putting her in day care while she's young"
Well I don't care, it's my choice.
Oh and when I say to people "Elianna sleeps in my bed !" HaHa you should hear the reaction.
You swear I was putting her in a cage to sleep. lol Elianna starts in her own crib and if she wakes during the night I put her in my bed with me.
IT WORKS FOR US !!!
It's just her and I, and I do not do well on little sleep. At All !! lol.
I like having her beside me. I love waking up next to her in the morning. And we both usually get a good night sleep.

So what if Eli is 5 years old and still wants to sleep with her mommy.
They grow so fast that before I know it Elianna will be 15 years old and not want to hang out with her ol' mother.
At least THEN I will be able to look back and know that I didn't miss anything nor will I regret any loss time for cuddling. Even if it happens to be in mommy's bed at 1am. LOL



Later

Try not to listen to what others have to say. If you ask me, you are doing the right thing. I am staying home with my baby (and future babies) until they are of age to go to school. It is a choice we have made and we are so happy about it. You children need you and you need them - do what is right for you!
Blessings,
Tammy

I absolutely agree with Tammy. You're doing the right thing. I love being home with my kids, I took jobs now that I'm able to still be home with them... but I'm quickly discovering that its really hard to juggle all of it, and I miss giving my "everything" to my family... I'm slacking. I love that you've decided to stay home and raise Eli, that's fabulous. I missed that with Emma, and I regularly regret that. You won't regret this at all!

Love ya
