The best part about being a SAHM is being there when I need to be. Having access to my children and their needs. There are many, many conflicts with being at home, but I have loved it these past three and one half years.The increased stress on our budget and the fact that Little Big Boy has begun preschool make it necessary for me to look for work, so interviews abound. It is a heart-breaking part of being a SAHM. I know that I am going to miss being here and being together. (See the teary eyes.)
At precisely 3:12 a.m. this morning, Little Big Boy was laughing in his sleep. He was laughing loud enough for me to hear and I couldn't resist joining in. He has a head cold and had come into our room in the middle of the night and was sleeping next to me, so I had a front row seat as he laughed joyfully in his slumber. I continued listening to him laugh and then he said, "That is so funny." I laughed louder and he laughed again and soon he was silent and his breathing became regular again.
Those are the times that make my heart sing. I realized that I would still have moments with him-even if/when I return to work. I will still hear him laugh and be able to share in his joys. I will still be able to hear him laughing in the wee hours of the morning. God knew that I needed a sign of his understanding of my plight and I have a feeling HE was tickling Little Big Boy at 3:12 a.m. just for me.

What a beautiful post. Nice to know you appreciated it as well. Too few do.
Good luck in your job search. Working part-time is a dream for me. 2 days at one job, 3 days at home for my other job. Some good, some bad. That's life, eh? :)
