Wow, its hard to believe that Shawn is 6 weeks old already! On the other hand it seems like he's been here forever. I'm definatly counting my blessings, knowning that for many mothers this milestone also means returning to work. Thankfully I've been blessed with a husband who sacrifices so much so I can stay home with our children. I came across this quote several weeks ago and think it deserves repeating:
When we traded home-making for careers, we were implicitly promised economic independence and worldly influence. But a devil of a bargain it has turned out to be in terms of daily life. We gave up the aroma of warm bread rising, the measured pace of nurturing routines, the creative task of molding our families' tastes and zest for life. We received in exchange the minivan and the Lunchable. (Or worse, convenience-mart hot dogs and latchkey kids.) I consider it the great hoodwink of my generation. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
