Do you remember the Manic Monday song? “Just another manic Monday…wish it were Sunday…that’s my fun day!” I used to love singing that song along with the radio on Monday mornings, and I was just thinking how apt the song is today. 😉 Sundays are our fun days…going to church, then out to lunch, then to the library. It’s always a fun day of family time.
Josyan asks Ryan every morning, “Do you have to go to work today, Daddy?” When Ryan says, “Not today.” Josyan says, “Yay! Daddy Fun Day!” 😉 And it certainly is fun to spend the day as a family, even when I still have to work.
And then comes Monday. Even though Mondays for me no longer mean driving 90 miles to work, they still seem a little sad, especially when the sky is overcast. (Of course, that could just be the clouds!) On days like these, I just want to bake some chocolate chip cookies and curl up with a book or watch a movie with my kiddos. But, alas, we have schoolwork and work work and house work. lol
And just when I’m starting to feel a little down…I remember that I have a Plan. A plan that will make every day a Daddy Fun Day. Of course, the kids will still have school work, but Ryan & I will no longer have work work, and I will hire someone to do my house work. (hurray!!!) I am pursuing my dreams of financial freedom and making a difference in the world–and I’m doing that from my home. How great is that?!
I love having home as our base! We're looking for property that has a workshop on it so Tony can work from home too!
Kelly,
I know that you'll find the perfect place! I don't think that God intended for the family to be separated all the time–little boys should be hanging out with their dads and little girls with their moms, and the whole family should be together! 🙂 I love the passage in the OT where it says that men who just got married should just stay home and make their wives happy for a year (or is it 2?). 🙂
