Nothing could compare...

My first full week as an official ECEducator was hectic, exhausting, and crazy, with lots of random happenings including a bee sting, nose bleed and a child accidentally stabbing her self with scissors as she fell off her chair. YIKES!

Yet, when I was talking to a gorgeous blonde, blue eyed four year old girl yesterday I thought to myself "if I wasn't here, I'd be home doing nothing that compares in significance to this job." What else would I do with my time if I wasn't at work? Probably a whole lot of nothing. Therefore, no matter how hard, exhausting, or down right crazy this job gets. Spending my life and time doing ECE is exactly what I should do. Nothing else can compare.

I want babies again! Haha, after a long talk with Camy yesterday we both came to the conclusion that at the end of our lives if we didn't have children then we'd regret it. It's worth the chaos, and it will be the greatest thing we could do with our time, love, money and energy. I just made it abundantly clear that if we are having 3 or 4 then I want at least a three year gap between #2 & #3! I don't want three or four under five years old! No way!

My health mindset has begun to change. I just want to eat healthy and stop obsessing over loosing X amount of weight in X amount of time. I just want to treat my body with respect and focus on the creator of my life. I want to focus on God and the cross. That's most important to me, and therefore, it's where my focus should lie.

Other than running some errands today, this weekend will consist of yoga pants, hopefully some wine, this book (AMAZING! by the way), and a nice long bubble bath. I love having my weekends back and the feeling of fall in the air is making me a very happy girl :)


Happy Saturday :)

Blessings, N.
