Today when picking up the kiddos from school one of their sweet teachers mentioned how busy I must be since we are friends in FB! I was so happy telling her what a dream come true it is!
Many years ago as a working mom I dreamt of days, where I could pick up my kids from school. Most of all I dreamt of being able to snuggle on sick days. 😭 I had to go back to work when my kiddos were 7 weeks old. I worked full time and went to college at night. I didn’t graduate til Julia was 6 months old! Those were hard times. College work and processing payroll while nursing 🤱 my babies. It was mountains and mountains of paper and it felt like the work would never be done - and I would never be there for sick days. Julia was only 3 years old in this picture. She had a 103 fever and I had to bring her to the office with me so I could finish my work. She laid down on chairs against the wall on a bunch of napkins we had put down. I used a package of diapers as a little pillow for her. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of guilt, overwhelm and how stuck I felt. Many years later looking at this picture still makes me cry. 😭 Tomorrow might be a snow day. It might not. We won’t know til 5am. But it no longer matters because I’m here. I’m here for sick days. For imaginary sick days (or mental health days). I’m here for drop offs, pick ups, field trips and everything in between. Because I invested in myself my kids have a better quality of life! Because I took risks they now can be home when they are not feeling well. Because I expanded my horizons - my life looks very very different today! And for that I’m beyond grateful! ❤️ So make an investment in yourself, take risks, and expand your horizons. Do it for you! Do it for them! Do it to pave the way! And if you want to have my eyes on your business, book your business x-ray today! 💫🔥💫
