Oh yes, boys and their dads, I tell you! Me and one of mine were half way through our date breakfast when he gazed at me across his scrambled eggs and said wistfully, “I miss Da Da.” Good grief! What’s a mom to do? Bring out the powdered sugar french toast, baby!!

I soooo get this. My two year-old has left me — for his father. It’s so fun to watch those two strutting their masculinity around the house … but hard, too, to see all of the ways he’s losing his “babyness.”

Thanks. But believe me, perspective or not, there are some days when I complain loud and often! It’s kind of a package deal. The one helps balance out the other

I love your outlook! You’ve encouraged me to keep a proper perspective. I think I would complain a lot if I had to deal with serious traffic.

It’s always so encouraging to hear from other working moms. It takes a special brand of courage I think to get in the car and drive away for a day. I can only do it knowing I am leaving them behind in the hands of the God that made them and cares for them (amazingly) more than even me! Hang in there – here’s to Fridays!

I am so so blessed that I don’t have to endure these commute hours.
But as you say, it is all in the perspective.
It sounds like you make more of the time away and together than many do.
Wishing you continued flex time and smoky hair memories… loved that !

It is hard being a working mom, isn’t it? I arrive at work and count down the hours until I see her next. I continually try to remember that God put me here, right here at work, this very day to His will. And although it pains me to leave my little girl, it brings me joy to know I am serving my King….that is the most important (although not the easiest).

Thank you for sharing this…it brings joy to me, a working mom…

Thanks! It’s always nice to know others are familiar with the landscape one is describing in a blog. And I sure love me some DC – bad traffic and all!
