How things change...

when you have kiddos. I was just reading Sara's blog and she stated that she can't imagine working full-time outside the house since Vince appeared in her life. Isn't that the truth?! I remember working like a mad dog before Caleb. I worked so many hours. I worked at FirstBank and was a Probation Officer for Northglenn and Federal Heights. I loved my Probation job...it was a lot of work...but I loved it. I always said I would never stay at the bank. But then something changed within me when I was pregnant with Caleb. A month before my due date with Caleb I resigned from my Probation job. I was sad...kind of. But I am so greatful now. My job at the bank has very little stress on me. The hardest part about my job is getting in the car and leaving. Once I am at work I am fine. Seven years ago I said that I would only work at the bank until I got out of college. Well I did that. Used my degree for awhile and then decided to hang it on a shelf somewhere in this kid invaded house. If I continued working in the Criminal Justice field I would be making a lot more money than I am now. But I would miss so much with my kiddos. I would miss things like: Caleb pooping in his diaper in the corner and not wanting me to make any type of eye contact with him; nursing Haley (that is our Momma and Haley time); Caleb wanting me to hold him when he doesn't feel well; and Haley wanting to be held just because. Or how about when Caleb pooped in his "little" potti and wanted me to take a picture of it...and then proceeded to cry when I dumped it in the "big" potti. I would never be offered enough money to miss these moments






















Don't laugh...I was like 7 or 8 months pregnant in this picture... :)
