A New Chapter

It's official...a new chapter of my life begins October 1st.  On October 1st, at 4:30p I'll officially be a STAY AT HOME MOMMY!!!!  

I'm nervous.  It's something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember.  I've always wanted to be home with my babies.  Even my senior year of college when people asked me what I wanted to do I would say "If I'm honest, I really just want to be a Mommy someday, but I'll settle for some sort of income first."  Oh how naive I was.  Since learning that I was pregnant with Eden, I've wanted to be a stay-at-home-mommy.  It just never seemed to be the "right time" mostly financially.  Finally - I had an epiphany.  If there's ever going to be a right time, it's NOW.  1- I've realized for some time that you can't just wait for things to be 'the right time'...you have to make them the right time.  2- I got to thinking - my girls are little now.  In a year, they won't be the same.  Eden will be 1 year closer to kindergarten.  I just realized I have to make priorities.  3- Sometimes the "right time" wasn't there because our priorities were out of whack.  If it's a priority for me to be home with our girls, then that's what i need to be doing before anything else.  

So that's it, as of October 1st - I'm a stay-at-home-mommy!
