Changes

After stressing and running beyond my own means, I sat Erick down on New Years Eve and told him about the toll working was taking on me. I have taken Ryker to work with me since he was 3 weeks old. It was easy at first, because all he did was sleep. But then he started getting more rambunctious and alert and work became a juggling act. In the midst of working an 8 to 9 hour day, I was running Ryker to his doctor's appointments, therapy appointments, etc. then I would go home, try to get dinner made and run it up to Erick at work so he could eat. That had to stop in November because I just couldn't do it anymore. On top of this, I would try to clean a little each night but would end up spending the entire weekend cleaning house and catching up on all the things I missed during the work week. By the time Sunday would roll around, I found that I would sleep most of the day just to catch up on my rest.

It also didn't help that at work, things were getting way out of hand on ethics issues and personality issues between my boss and I and that Ryker had a tantrum so loud that the building officer came down to see what was going on while I tried to silence the noise.

I have a wonderful husband who could see the toll it was taking on me and how it was also affecting everyone else because of my moods and stress so we agreed it was time to bring me home to take care of Ryker. In order to do this, Mom and Dad have graciously agreed to let us live in their basement until Erick finishes school in May. We will be moving in the next two weeks and I get to be done with work on Friday.

This is an answer to prayers and I am grateful that the Lord has helped us to come to this decision. I have been praying for a way to get me home to take care of Ryker and our family needs and there just hasn't been any answers until this past week. I know He listens and that He has a timing that we can't possibly understand until after the miracles come.
