Only Once
You have a lifetime to work, but children are only young once. ~Polish Proverb
Okay, so 3 days a week at the office isn’t working. Not only do I feel my attention is now divided between Asher and work, getting ready for work, getting home from work…..the worst part is that Asher isn’t sleeping as well at night. Which means I’m not sleeping as well at night. Which means Jonathan isn’t sleeping as well at night.
And besides all that…..I have heard from a few women on a variety of subjects and the resounding theme is that your kids grow up entirely too fast. Even the hard seasons we go through are only seasons.
That’s when it hit me. I have the chance to watch Asher grow up one time. He’ll be 5-months old one time. He’ll be going through this season one time. And trying to work and take care of him is messing him up. And it’s just not worth that. Nothing is worth that.
So I have stopped going to the office 3 days a week. We’re still discussing options of me doing some of the finance work from home as it fits into Asher’s schedule. That would be better as I would be able to totally focus on Asher, take care of him, and as time allowed I’d be able to help with the accounting. We’ll see what we come up with…
