On Track

I had five extra minutes before leaving for preschool this morning and I thought I'd use it to post since I have been remiss lately! I have been crazy planning this 4th birthday party for my first son. It is amazing how much time the whole thing takes! I was thinking that although four is still pretty little, I can't believe that I have a four-year-old child. It seems really big to me.

Then I started thinking about how I have been out of the workforce for four years as well. I really don't miss working and I don't think I've found my passion professionally. But this thought process was spurred by a high school friend I recently found on Facebook. She's been on the career track and is married but without children. Got her MBA from a great school and is now a Senior Account Manager for a big company in NYC. For a brief moment I had regret for not keeping on that track as well (mine might have been a bit less blazing!). But then I thought about my boys and I knew what I am doing is the right track for me. I wouldn't give them up for the world, and I can always pursue my career later. As they say, you'll never look back and wish you had worked more. And these kids will only be my little one's for a short time, and I'm glad I can share it with them as much as possible, even if it drives me a little (or a lot) crazy now and then:)
