A few months ago, I started a new, part-time job, and I absolutely love it. It is probably the best job I've ever had. The work, the environment, the people are great. I feel so incredibly lucky to have a job that I not only enjoy, but that works well around my busy schedule of being a mom.
Even though I'm not actually alone, this job gives me what I consider alone time. Or even me time. I guess any time away from my children feels like alone time. And because I get a few hours a week away from the craziness of motherhood, I feel like I am a better mother overall.
And anything that helps me be a better mom {which is, after all, my real job} is something I will always be grateful for.
What things are you grateful for?
I'm with you that a little time away from all the demands of parenting actually makes us better parents. Sometimes it's hard to remember that.
