oops and a day at home

So, I somehow messed up my afternoon today's sub call from the call-out system, last night. I guess I will be spending the day relaxing with my little boy. It will be nice to keep relaxing (continuation from this morning).

It's funny though, sometimes I feel bad for being at home, like I am letting down my family on the income side. This is a struggle that I have because of the nature of my job "on call." I feel like I need to take every opportunity to work because I am not guaranteed to have any work at all! On that note, I feel so very very blessed to have been as busy at work as I am. I have only had three days without work in the last month and a bit! Two by choice and today's slip up! I am so blessed that I am being looked after so well.

These days at home remind me that Justin and I have promised not to let work get in the way of family. We are so incredibly blessed that our work experiences and families have allowed us both to enjoy our little boy all the while allowing us to continue with our careers, provide ourselves with an incredible home where we are 250% happy, pay off our debts from our schooling (yikes), and see Hunter's relationships with his aunts, uncles and grandparents flourish.

I wake up in the morning and ask myself... how did I get this lucky?

I need to remember this as I look at jobs for next year and dream of my own classroom... I'm not ready yet!
