Haley, I know times are tough now a days for you younger couples with high mortgages etc. With your hours cut down you can earn extra spending money and still be home with Micah. I was always a stay at home mom when my children were young, I was stuck between the sandiwich generation taking care of my eldery parents and raising my children. I did with a lot less , I didnt go on vacations every year and hardly went out to dinner. We sacrificed so I can stay home with them. I don't regret it at all. They were the best times of my life.
I did not work but always was an avon repre. and believe it I made a few dollars, I always had high sales, hence my profession today. lol I was very active on the PTA and all origanizations for my children.. So that money came in handy for Christmas gifts, Halloween etc.
The important thing here is that you will enjoy time with your son and it is wonderful to be with him and to enjoy each day . The ladies here gave you great suggestions for Christmas presents, Haley a lot of people are cutting out people from their Christmas list, including myself. I have a big family and friends that I brought for and we don't need anything so a token present is nice.
Sometimes I wish I can stay home at times it seems boring but there is always something to be done. Trust me days go by quickly..
Please drag yourself out of bed and start smiling you have a beautiful family to be thankful for this shall pass.
