Well, the time has come. I officially have no more babies. And I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I am super sad I will not have little ones at home with me this school year, but on the other hand since I have a full-time job now it will definitely give me a quieter home to work from. I always knew I would be back to work by the time my youngest was in school all day, but those “baby years” sure did fly by fast. Heck, I haven’t even lost my “baby weight” yet! LOL! Yes, I am still blaming my 6-year old for my extra weight. Only kidding. It’s all me and my sweets addiction, but I am currently working on it and down 7 pounds as we speak. 

Having more time for me could mean:

More time to exercise and focus on me

More time to work on eating healthier

More time to work without the guilt of trying to hang out with the kids

More time to pick-up around the house

More time to read and focus on me

More time to get my house organized (I need to get to those “everything closets” and the garage)

This is my plan and I am hopefully sticking to it! I will start out slow with some goals and that should help. For instance, I need to exercise at least three times a week and choose just one area a week to clean out. Are you at home with the kids out of the house during the day? How did you deal with this change? I feel like this puts me in an entire new phase of my life. I need to embrace it and be proud of my beautiful children and adore them for who they are at these ages of 6 and 9. Mourning the toddler stage will only make them feel bad, and it’s not good for me either. I need to move gracefully into “Mom with Kids in School Full-Time!”
