So hubby goes back to work tomorrow, after being home with Nicklaus all this time! It will be a hard day for him, Nick is in school full time (by school I mean daycare) we like it to sound more official! haha
I hope he stays strong and healthy. We are back this week for RSV shots, then his four month old shots as well as Kylie's four year old shots - I am feeling a bad week coming on! Kylie is already coughing, and I am afraid that the asthma will get the best of her, which puts us in a pickle! We both are going to be very busy at work, which leads to very little time off.
I think we should rework the work week her in America, especially maternity leave. You know in Canada I hear they get one Year off (feel free to chime in- my readers from around the globe). That year off, is paid! What a concept in how more productive the work force would be when they don't have to worry about the baby in daycare for the first year, hell, I'd take six months! I think that overall people would be happier with a four day work week. If we work to support our families and then spend all of our time working- what good does that do? Such a fine line to walk, and so difficult to balance. But I find that most people after a long weekend are so much more refreshed. You are able to get things done and still have a day to rest. Makes for a clear head a happier crowd!
Funny that from such a young age it is drilled into us, what college are you going to go to? What do you want to be when you grow up? What line of work are you going to be in? You have to be successful so pick well! If it wasn't for my dad pushing me constantly to get a degree, I would not be where I am today. I am grateful that he did it even if I gave him grief and struggled. College was not an easy time for me. There always seemed to be some major drama in my life (shocking I know) and whether is was directly related to me or not - there was definite drama. That can be another blog- long stories...

You know the saying "it's been one of those days" well I think it has been one of those Years!! So I failed to mention how sick we have been since Kylie's birthday - First I come down with the stomach bug- have that all week, Kylie catches a cold, and then Mike gets the bug and the echo virus... Thankfully Nicklaus didn't get sick although I think he had a touch of the bug with the stomach pains. Hard to say.
