Learn to enjoy what you have when you have it.

For those of you who know me, you know that when I owned my own business I did nothing but complain, scream, carry around a ton of anger and resist having the business. I never wanted my own business and my husband started it without my blessing, which made me mad as hell. Took a long time to get over it.

Now the business is gone. I miss the hell out of it. Not the worries of owning the business, not the being on call 24/7, not even being my own boss (which to be honest was one of the best things about it).

What I miss is dropping my kids off at school, going home and working until they were out of school, being able to pick them up from school and then going home to work until the work was done for the day. Even though I was working I was always there for my kids. Emergency at school I was there. They were sick, no big deal for them to stay home I was at home working anyway. School event, doctor's appointment or anything else that came up, so what! I was the boss and set my hours so I never missed anything the kids had going on.

Now, (know that I am very grateful) I am working outside the home. I can't be there for the kids all the time like I was. I had taken them out of school and public schooled them from home when I was working at home. They are still public schooled from home but I am gone all afternoon and evening. I can't be there for every little thing like I use to. They are miserable and so am I.

I miss my kids! I miss my dog! I miss my mother-in-law. I miss working in my pj's. But I really miss being there for my kids all the time, every day and I wish I would have appreciated that more when I had it.

God bless all the working moms' in the world. We know we have to go and bring home the money but it sucks leaving the ones we are making the money for behind. But at least now I thoroughly enjoy and am thankful for every second I get with them.
