815 Emails Later...

I was actually surprised that my inbox didn't have more. I mean, I was out for almost four months. I guess I'm just not that popular.

However, I don't feel nearly as bad as I thought I would (or should) feel. I guess that's just confirmation that I'm doing this for the right reasons. (That shouldn't imply that those who do feel bad are doing it for the wrong reasons. Maybe there just is something wrong with me.) But because of these two ten-hour days we have a house. We can continue to save for Rhett's college education. We can save for retirement. None of these things was possible on Chuck's salary alone.


Don't let me fool you however. I looked at this picture about 30 times today. Wouldn't you?

He looks so much bigger already. He's such a beautiful baby, those eyes are gorgeous. I actually think you were lucky to find such a perfect part-time job. I would have jumped on that opportunity without a question.

He's painfully cute. I have to admit, there are days I fantasize about being with adults for a few hours a week...
