A year ago, I left a fast-paced career to go to part-time work so that I could be (mostly) home with my girls. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Every day I'm home with them, I have those cherished moments, as you put it so beautifully: "I remember feeling complete on that swing. I remember thinking, knowing, that those moments were pure perfection. They are the high summer days of her childhood. Golden days." Thank you for this reminder to savor every moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-28875150267988409402012-11-23T02:16:07.146-06:002012-11-23T02:16:07.146-06:00Right!

He was three. Now I can see the dusk and the pine boughs overhead (we had only a big pine tree for our swing). <br /><br />Although I get anxious about not saving enough money or about "throwing away" a career, my kids and I are close. We talk with each other more than we talk with most anyone else, and that counts for a lot. I need to remember: it's not forever. And it's only once.<br /><br />Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288672545999106867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-89085692500600578012012-11-20T18:57:58.508-06:002012-11-20T18:57:58.508-06:00My baby is getting ready for uni- she is applying ...My baby is getting ready for uni- she is applying for scholarships!
