Working.

Matt works a lot! He provides for our family and for that I am so grateful. On the other hand, the hand I tend to stand on, it sucks that he is not home more. I know he feels the same. It just leads me to the greater point that so many people I know work to maintain their debt or have their cars etc. It's frustrating for me because I have been feeling like I want to simplify. But how? Do we need so many channels on Direct TV? Do we need cell phones? Certainly there was a time in history when we all got by without these things.
How do people do it? When I go back to work the Keller household will be busy. Ella will go across the street for daycare and we blessed to have my mom be able to watch Brenna.
Sometimes I question my choice of career. Being a social worker means I make little money for a lot of work and a lot of stress. It is fulfilling but I would be more fulfilled having my husband work less.
We'll see. I guess I just wanted to vent. I know a lot of my friend's hubby's work a lot too leaving them with the majority of the house/childcare stuff. It's a tough job that house/childcare stuff. I am just coming to a major realization with the arrival of Brenna. I thought one was difficult - oh boy! It's a blessing but it's tiring. I don't know what I would do without my and Matt's family. Mom's who stay home are saints. And I have a new appreciation for childcare workers!
That was a very multi-topic post...two deep issues I have been struggling with. Thoughts are welcome!
