Heart melting moment

There are definitely times recently when I've wondered if I'm being selfish for not getting a job that pays more and/or provides more stability. I've always said that I want to be a sub in the kids' school as long as we can possibly manage so that I can be home with the kids when they are here. I LOVE being a sub and I've been very blessed in having MANY opportunities to work, but I've still wondered if I should go find a job that pays more, even if it would mean being gone more...would we, as a family, be better off in the long run? Not that life is all about money, but it certainly can allow for some extra fun things. I'm pretty sure I got a hint though, that being home together doesn't matter just to me. I had a meeting this evening, and it's rare that being out in the evening doesn't involve a child's activity. That was the case tonight though, and because of Andrew's schedule we couldn't all he together so he ate with the kids and I ate when I got home. As I was sitting down, Thomas came over and gave me a big hug and said, "I feel like I've been waiting forever to do that!" My heart absolutely melted! I loved the fact that even though I was home for a little bit after school before I left for my meeting, he missed having me around. Little signs like that help me know that we've made the right decision for our family, and I'm so grateful! These days as a family are going to pass way too quickly!

P.S.  I have no idea why my font has suddenly changed!
