A sad day today

for me. Dropped the boys off at daycare today for the first time. Makes me sad. For a few obvious reasons:

1) I go bad to work in a week
2) Someone else will get to see my boys more than me during the day
3) I will miss them dearly
4) I will miss a lot of moments, that I can't get back

So, WHY do I not stay home you may ask?

I would love to....really I would. But we have some debt. Truth be told, it is not too pretty, but we can get out of it. The thing is, we didn't really plan the whole kid/daycare/quit the job thing before we had the boys and now...well it is a little too late. Gotta waste cash keeping them in daycare so that I can go to work to help get that debt gone. A few years of determination will pay off...and by then they will be in school.

Life sucks sometimes. Wish I were able to see the future sometimes, so I can understand what the repurcussions of my choices are....what can you do? Well, I can make the most of every moment. Live each day to the fullest. Enjoy my kids when I can. Live live.

Onto a much happier topic.

Today is the start of anniversary celebrations over at Love Is In The Details. A way cool scrapbooking site. Daily prizes and projects. You must participate to win some of Lori's Lovely Things. Kinda like the whole Oprah thing--hmmm, wonder if she is giving away a car? *grin*

Nope, no car--but at the end of the week, all participants will have a chance to win one of 2 Making Memories tote bags--HOW COOL IS THAT!

What I wouldn't do to win wone of those. So, you all KNOW I will be participating. That tote would save me in the whole crop-packing department!

So, hope to see you all there--participate and chat with us!

But, oh yeah...Let me win the tote...K?

Well I think IF you could see into the future you would see two very happy well adjusted boys who know that thier Mom (and Dad) has given all that she had to make a great life for them and to give them the best of the best. You're a great Mom and your boys will remember all the times spent with rather than not.
