Being a Mom

I have decided to stay at home with Brackon, no more worky! We are going to be relying heavily on faith. We have already had a few confirmations that this is what we are to do. I am so excited to be with Brackon! I love it! My house is spic and span and I have plenty of time to be with Brackon. I am feeling so blessed to have this opportunity. When I was working, I just felt rushed (with only one baby) going from here to there, and oh, I guess Brack will have to nap in the car. I hated it. Well, it was probably a love/ hate relationship like Arlene at Wal-Mart! So I am staying home and helping coach at the U. I also work 2 hours a week at the daycare and get a full membership at the gym. This is an awesome trade! 2 hours is nothing. The kids pretty much play the whole time. It is easy. I took Brackon and Chantel swimming today. It was so much fun. I met some friends there from the ward. It was a blast. Chantel even went down the slide with me. Brackon was walking in the 1-foot water and would fall, head completely in and he would just get right back up as if nothing had happened. What a tough little guy! We were there for about 2 hours. Then we had hot dogs! Chantel was talking to grandma (on her fake phone) and I said let Bracky talk. She scrunched up her nose and said, "he's too little." And kept talking. Brackon fell asleep on the way home from Shelley's house (a mile). He was zonked out! He has been walking all day. Not crawling. He loves his new hobby. He drinks his milk while he walks, carrys a big basketball, and eats. Of course, not all three at the same time, but you get the point. I put him in bed this morning for his nap, after about 45 minutes of being in there I could hear him talking. I peeked at him and he had the blanket completely over his head and was trying to crawl. What would we do without kids? My blog would be pretty empty...

You rock! I loved this entry. I needed some encouragement about that today. It's such a blessing to get to stay home and I know that the Lord will bless you more then you even realize now for making that choice. Thanks!

I think you are doing the right thing too, Linz. You are such a good mom. I don't think you will ever be sorry for what you invest (time, energy etc) in that little guy.

Be frugle and make it work! YOu can.

Pay your tithing and the Lord will help you. I promise! bb

GOOD FOR YOU! Hard decision but RIGHT. Absolutely. And like Gpa Jack said...you never now what is around the corner until you get there. Kind of his way of saying 'have faith'. It will all work out...the Lords promises are sure.
Fear not - only believe!

I do not regret for one minute the blessing it was to stay home and raise all my children. There is time for work outside the home!!! It is not as rewarding and very restrictive!! Enjoy. love you mom

I have said it before. "You only get to raise your kids ONCE" So make the most of it. It takes a lot of courage to do the right thing. gma
