I almost forgot what it means to be a stay at home mom. With the craziness of graduate school I had no one minute to spare, but now it feels great to have some time to do nothing, or to listen to the kids, go to the mountains, play in the park. Oh, how much I missed to be home?
So today, I went to visit my friend (and niece) Laura and we talked (mostly me :) for almost two hours. After that I went to get Nikki to school, I'll be doing that for the next three weeks. Which brings me to what happen in three weeks...
I'll be moving to Oregon for my internship, the first (and I hope the only) time in my life that I'm going to leave my family for so long. I will stay in Oregon for 3 months, working for Intel.
I'm sad and I'm happy.
I'm sad for my children, I know how much they need me (even they don't know it) and I know how much they are going to resent not to have me around. I'm sad for my sweet heart because he will be all alone (and in charge of 3 teenagers!) during the summer. And I'm sad because this will be the first summer I don't spend with the kids.
Summer in our house is bubbly, we do tons of stuff. We have early morning breafasts in the mountains, we go hiking, tandem-biking, boating, picniking, vacations, and we jump in the pool 3-4 times a day.
I'm going to miss all that, Oh, yes I will miss it!!
I'm also happy because this offer at Intel is really good, the projects I'll be working on are amazing, and teh networking and experience will be fantastic. I'm also happy because Omar, my hubbie, is out of work (for the last 2 months), so some income will be great to get out of financial trouble.
