So, here's a random post. I have been working some extra hours lately at work. I am going to visit my sisters in Vegas soon (Hooray!) and am flying so I am trying to get those tickets paid for, plus I have bought some new clothes (I didn't have very much in my new larger size!) and surprise, surprise we may (Cam would say I) have gone a little overborad with Emma's birthday. Regardless, I have been picking up extra at work.
So, I have always said when people ask me what I do for a living I have said that I am a stay at home mom. Which I think is mostly true. I only work one day a week (12 hours) and Emma is either with my mom or Cam or a combination. I don't feel that she is ever without excellent care. So thanks mom and Cami! However with these extra shifts I have had to work some other things out. I have had help from friends (thanks again Alicia) and from my rocking sister Georgia! Cam has also gone in early several times so he can come home early. Hold on, I promise I have a point.
So, it has been hard. I'm tired, the house is pretty messy, the laundry and dishes are backed up. Plus the worst part is I swear Emma is acting out because she is mad at me and feels a little abandoned. Even when we're home I feel I have lots of other things to do besides just have tea parties constantly.
So, I just wanted to say to working moms and single moms out there, you guys have it rough and I give you props for all you do! Also I want to say that I am so blessed to have so many people around me in my life that are willing to help. I am also so grateful for a husband who works so hard so that I usually only have to work just one day a week. He is so awesome and not only does he work I think that he helps out with Emma a ton more than most dads do, and he does a lot of cooking and helps occasionally with housework. So I am a pretty lucky gal, and just wanted you all to know that.

I am amazed at working/single moms too. Parenting is tough as it is with all the help I have.
I think you have an awesome skill and I think it's great you get to use it still.
I wish I lived closer Emma, so I could help out too! I really admire you for working. You are developing your skills & helping a lot of people. Being a nurse is a noble calling! (so is motherhood!-you get double points!)
Emily,
I see you have a blog. It is cute and your daughter is adorable. Thanks for this post. I have to work while my husband is in school. It is tough, I couldn't do it knowing my kids where in daycare. Thank goodness my mom is my mom. She watches my kids and I am grateful for that.
I'm more than willing to watch her any time! She was awesome! I am with you, I don't know how single moms and working moms do it like they do. I can barely keep my head on straight with what I do. I hope you are enjoying a little break in Vegas.
I think it's great you're able to get out once a week and go work and still be able to be the great mom and wife that you are. You totally deserve some new clothes and a trip to Vegas! Enjoy! Oh and yes, Cam is a great guy!
Um love ya, but I would like to see smor pictures of little miss Emma!! Thanks and hope all is well!!
