Stay at home mothers

I will have a new title pretty soon. After a lot of debating back and forth, pros and cons lists...and lots of talks with my husband....we have decided it's best for me to be a stay at home mom.

I have really struggled with this decision. It has always been my dream to be a SAHM, but I found I job I really liked last year. It was my dream dental assisting job working in a children's clinic. Things have changed though. I thought I would be doing restorative functions (fillings, extractions, crowns etc) but I am just doing cleanings and X-rays. I also thought I would be at a location close to my house but instead am commuting 45 minutes in the am and 2 HOURS in rush hour traffic in the PM. I have to wake up at 4am in order to drop Charles off at daycare. By the time I get home at night it's around 7pm.

I know now that Joe is a Veterinarian and working we are making some awesome $$$$. I just don't want people to think I am quitting because he makes so much. He keeps telling me I was with him before he even went into vet school...but I know the way some people think!  He FINALLY convinced me to quit and I will be putting my notice in when I work next Thursday. Hopefully it goes OK.

I know in my heart I am making the right decision. Plus we want to start TTC again in November so assuming it doesn't take as long as it did to get Charles I want this extra special time to spend alone with him too.                                  How could I ever leave this face !??!
