Project 52 | Week 48: Accomplishment
48/52 Blog Circle for December 16. Accomplishment: What have you accomplished this year? What is your greatest acheivement for 2011?
I thought about this a lot. Was odd to try to think of an accomplishment for this year… since I stopped working because my job moved to Maryland and my family wasn’t in a place to relocate… Starting in June I became a full time stay-at-home mom… while in search of a replacement job… And while being out of work… I have learned exactly what my family needs from me right now… a mom who is around a lot more… a mom who runs the house full time… a mom who is able to help the kids with their homework every night… a mom who can get their kids to their various activities on time and dressed for that particular activity… a mom who cuts coupons in an effort to cut costs… a mom who cooks meals and doesn’t take the familiy to eat out as much… a mom who is learning to be a better mom and wife with the extra time in my days when I would have been at work… I guess this has been a learning year and since I have been doing okay in my family’s eyes I guess you can call that an accomplishment… So who knows what the future holds for me careerwise… but for now I can say that this adjustment of not working has been an accomplishment in-and-of-itself…
And on that note… here is a photo of the kids after school today… before swim practice… just a typical afternoon…

There is no job more important than what you are doing right now. I swear, as the kids get older they need us home more. Sounds like you are doing a great job with your new job.
