Last night at Drew's baseball game one of the Grandma's of the players and I had the following conversation...
Gma :"So, are you still off work since the baby?"
Me :" I have been "off work" for almost 13 years now"
Gma:"That's nice although you don't get a paycheck"
Me:"I do, it's not in dollars, it's in hugs and kisses."
Gma...silence
I am not sure she knew what to say...but I am SO VERY grateful that I can be home with our boys and be "off work".
The blessings that I receive from my children are too many to count. I consider it "pure joy" to have the priviledge to be "off work" and with my children!
ReplyDeleteyou go girl - great response!
ReplyDeleteI am grateful I am home. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteSusan - I LOVE this! I am so going to remember that and steal it from you if I ever have to use it. :)
