I had my last day of work before maternity leave started back in March but was slow to record this post - only now getting around to it when Eliot is 2 months old! Apologies.
My last day of work was a little bittersweet as I did really enjoy my job. It was made a little easier as the traffic home from Cambridge that day was awful taking me almost 2 hours instead of the usual one. I thought that this was God's way of reassuring me that I didn't want to make that drive weekly anymore! Our good friends the Byuns had arranged a pizza party between the two families to celebrate my last day and I just barely made it to my own party before it was time to put the kids to bed! When I finally did get home I was greeted by this sign from Jack. I really appreciated the sign but had to chuckle; this was hardly my 'last day of work' - as any mother knows my workload was just about to pick up dramatically. That said, I wouldn't change it for anything, and was very appreciative of Jack's drawing of Mom on the Hway (highway).

Anyone who thinks all a mother does is sit around and eat Bon-bons and watch soap operas has never really taken care of even one child! Motherhood is the hardest, most exhausting, most wonderful job there is. We are so very blessed by God that He has chosen us for this calling. May He continue to pour His blessings out on all of you. We are counting the days until we get to see you.
I agree with Monette. All mothers are working mothers and children are a blessing. I am still wondering when I will be able to sit around and eat bonbons and watch soap operas and my youngest child is 31.
