full time mother




Its official. I am now a full time mother, wife, knitter, blog reader (mostly mother). I have been playing with the idea of returning to work part time when my maternity leave is up in the middle of July. I now know that it is not an option for me. Prior to Jude being born I was a full time Substance abuse counselor at a women's homeless shelter and I LOVED it. Even before Jude was born, back when I felt those sweet little kicks and rolls in my stomach, I knew that it would be a while before I could return to work full time.
After many hours of stress and prayer I found out today that due to low numbers at my former work they could not offer me a part time position, it had to be full time. Since that is out of the question, I am now officially a full time mom. I knew it was the right thing for me when i felt giddy with excitement rather then disappointed when i found out.
The facility is keeping me on call so I will occasionally fill in for counselors who are out sick which i think will be a nice way to keep my foot in the career door while I'm working on my family. So for now I guess my days well be filled with more of this:


Mothering my beautiful baby boy

Getting my knit on


Having fun with my husband





Drinking absurd amounts of tea

Working on the Hope And Heritage shop


And if I'm lucky, laughing with my sister and friends until our sides hurt

  1. I see you've chosen to post a photo of my favorite memory: when I jumped out from behind a tree to surprise Jude.
