Today reminded me of why I work so hard. So that I can finish school and secure a full-time faculty position. I will not be locked into the 8-5 grind.
I was talking to my friend LB who lives in Texas. He told me his idea of taking care of his family means he covers all the household bills. If his wife wants to work, that up to her and the money would be extra. Not required to support the household.
That just reminded me there are good men in the world. I told him I wouldn't know how to act if somebody told me I didn't have to work two jobs. That I could just teach and take care of the house. I am not the stay-at-home kinda gal. The kids' caregiver will stay on payroll. But I want to get home by 2p, cook dinner, pick up the kids, finish homework with them and then have dinner as a family. That will allow about an hour for family time before the kids go to bed.
I know that may read as ridiculous to some people but I totally believe as a society we need to return to basic family values. I also believe that I can have that because it's a desire of my heart.
Time to make Valentine's day cards for the girls in NyCee's dance class!
"Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart."
