All is doing well in Alaska - Mike left for Bangor, UK about 6 weeks ago for his Masters/PhD program. Aidan is 19 months old, knows about 10 words and is precious. I can't imagine how we ended up with such an angel of a kid - he's currently dealing with Croup, but overall he sleeps through the night, loves Thomas the Tank Engine and running into walls. Deanna and I are doing great as well. The house is great, our new car (Purchased a 2009 Yaris 1 year ago) is wonderful and our jobs are steady as usual. Hope to see you online sometime. Glad to see you around again - I was starting to worry! Good to see you back on the blogging circuit – I had stopped my routine checks of your blog!

The fact that you are able to handle the things you do speaks volumes about your dedication to your family and your career and the balance between them. Needless to say, I've been extremely impressed with what you've taken on and think you're doing a wonderful job. My opinion (and that's all it is) is that you are a wonderful mother who is strong enough to recognize when she needs time away from her children. Those that don't have the capacity often end up taken it out on them. So, keep taking "you" time because it will help you be a better, stronger Mom. And if you can keep going to school and being a SAHM and being a wife than more power to you, but if you can't than that's okay and you are still an amazingly gifted, talented, driven person. You've complimented me on my weight loss, but secretly I have been jealously admiring your ability to decide what you want to do in life and just go for it. You wanted to have kids, you did. You wanted to get your Masters, you are. I wish I could be so bold and confident in my capabilities as you are in yours. :) Hopefully, I'll be going to nursing school (while working full time) and while I don't have two kids in tow as well, I have Micah and he's kind of a baby. So, maybe I can be a better listener and sympathizer when I to am saying "OMG Ashlee - I haven't slept in days. How do you do it?!". Because honestly, you motive ME to get off my butt and make something of myself. :) *hugs* -Erynn Hey lady, you are doing an amazing job.

I love my kids and being with them, but I love myself too and want more for me than being stuck and home and not fulfilling the dreams that I have too. That's not so say that being a stay-at-home mom isn't wonderful, but I think there is more that I can do for both me and my kids. I think this is the first step in that process.

While I know it was a difficult adjustment in the beginning, based on the content and tone of your posts you sound much happier. Hope you have an excellent weekend! :) It sounds like you have a much better balance in your life.

I just couldn't give him all the attention that he needed and I didn't want him caged up all day while i was at school. Plus he was getting to big to play with the boys. He is doing really well though, he loves it there and she has 5 older grandkids for him to play with. We gave him to a neighbor who desperately wanted him.
