I sometimes refer to myself as a weekend mom. I'm very lucky (considering my profession) that I get to spend Friday at 4 - Tuesday morning with my little girl...but with that said I don't see her after I drop her off at daycare around 8:00 am Tuesday until Thursday night..Sometimes even Friday afternoon, depending on if I can sneak out of work a little early on Thursday. I work long days during the week and leave before she wakes up and after she's in bed. This is becoming more and more difficult for me as Everly is getting older. I'm so sad that I've missed so many of Everly's milestones and now she is starting to be so goofy and fun to just hang out with. I just hope that sometime soon I can stay home with her. She's almost 2 and we have just a couple more years before she starts kindergarten, and I may never have this chance again.
