I have been neglecting you lately. I assume your blogs show up on my reader, but I don't know for sure...I'm never there. Remember back when I mentioned that Starbucks had given me the opportunity to extend my leave and then transfer to a store here in Texas? Well, I appreciated ALL the advice you guys gave me, and decided that I'd pick up a few shifts a week. To be honest, it is a love hate relationship. I've enjoyed working, and I love the feeling once I get home and see my girl. I work VERY early in the morning, allowing me to only miss her sleeping hours, and a mere one or two of her awake. That being said, working 20 hours a week means I now have 20 less hours to love on my husband and love on my girl. And not much can compete with this...
So if you haven't seen my comments, noticed a severe lack of posting, and lalala, you can blame it on a few changes in my life. I'm learning how quickly one can pump in ten minutes - in a Starbucks bathroom - as well as how to balance work and family. I didn't decide to work because I needed to get out of the house, or needed value outside of being a Mom. We as a family decided that I would work because we want to live and remain debt free. Stabucks allows me to work in the morning and come home before Q even heads to work. I will never, or most likely will not, have this opportunity again. So much has happened in your lives and I can't wait to catch up with all of you!

Those are perfect hours for you and your family. Congrats on taking this opportunity!
I'm glad you have a good reason for being gone :-) I was getting worried.
This is a similar reason for my "slump". I hope thigs smooth out for you. As I am sure they will! I am glad you had such a great opportunity.
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, I'm glad something so perfect for your priorities was available. =)
Take your time getting back to blogging....spend your time with hubby and that adorable baby first. ;)
She's a gorgeous baby!! Good luck transitioning and we'll all still be here when you come back!
I've missed you, but yo know I totally understand. Mike & I are trying to evaluate what we're going to do in the future. Lots of tough decisions to make.
Awesome for you.
Doesn't Starbucks offer healthcare for PTers too? Boy I could use me some healthcare right about now.
It sounds like you've got the perfect set up for you and your family.
I'm glad they gave you a schedule that you could work with!! I need something like that! ;-)
la, i have been so busy too and haven't commented in forever. i saw that face in my google reader and my heart melted. seriously. i know i say this ALL the time, but OMG you have the most precious little one on the planet.
Good for you! Sounds like this job is a good fit for your entire family. It's awesome that you are aiming to continue to live debt-free. We are striving to be debt free-it's way exciting to pay things off!! Praise the Lord!
i'm so happy that it's a schedule you can work out with Q! I have no idea what we will do once we start having babies!
