My First Blog!!

There are a lot of firsts in life, first steps, first day of school, first date, etc. etc. Well this is a first for me. A blog. A journal. A written expression of my most inner thoughts and secrets. Hmmm secrets? I have none. I am a mother. I have no secrets, no privacy, no normal typical days. Everyday is something new. A new challenge or hurdle to climb. And I wouldn't have it any other way. This is my story.

My name is Cassandra and I am a work from home mother of 2. (kinda sounds like I am attending an addiction meeting right?) I guess you can say childcare is an addiction for me because I love kids. Especially my 2. My handsome son Jamie(2) and my beautiful daughter Johannah(2 mo.) They are the loves of my life. My reason to wake every morning. God gave me the 2 greatest gifts he could ever have sent me. Now don't get me wrong, life isn't a big giant bowl of cherries, but having my kids makes it all worth it.

My decision to work from home came after a layoff from my job. I missed being with Jamie and hated that he had to go to daycare. So ta da, I opened my own at home daycare. Now I get to be at home and earn money too. I love it. Jamie gets playmates and mommy, and I get a paycheck. Why didn't I think of this before? Then along came baby #2 Johannah. I am so enjoying getting to see her everyday. Her expressions, her cries, and even the big ginormous blowout diapers that every mother loves cleaning up. Yes. I missed that with Jamie and in some weird way I love doing it.

So this is my everyday trials as a work from home mother. My experiences and happenings written down. So until next time my friends.......
