SAHM or Working Mom?
Did you (or will you) stop working and be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)? Why or why not? Any regrets in your decision, like do you find yourself wanting to go back to work, or in the middle of a meeting do you wish you were home instead? What would you tell other mom-to-bes who are considering being a SAHM - do it or not?

Sometimes we can have it all

I was a single mom for 8 years. I worked my butt off. My daughter was in daycare for many hours a day. Most the time my mom would pick her up, feed her and I would put her to bed. When she was 8 I married a man who wanted me to stay home. Didn't take a lot of arm twisting. Anyway, we had 2 more children and stayed home for 11 years. Now, I have re-entered the work force. I'm in police work, which means I work some pretty weird hours. My husband owns his own business. Between the two of us, we take and pick up our kids from school and they are never in daycare. From time to time they go home with one of my trusted friends. Because of this, I feel absolutely not guilt loving my job. I work mostly midnights, so I'm there when they get up in the morning, get home from school, do school parties, field trips.....Sleep, what's that?
