This was taken at 6am this morning. The whole family gets up at 5:15a gets dressed and is out of the house by 6:20. My husband heads off to work and I head to daycare to drop off Nova and her 3 year old brother, Lennox at 6:30. I leave there at 6:45a and get to work by 8:15a. I am in my 2nd semester of grad school (came back from maternity leave and knew I needed a change). I get home from school at 10:09pm prepare to do it all again the next day. I miss milestones in Nova’s life as well as Lennox’ it is hard and I want to cry (and I do), but I keep telling myself I am doing this for my family. One of the good things about being away from home so much is it has forced my husband to really step up from a glorified babysitter (I am being harsh) to a great dad. I am tired! But seeing this little girl smile and give me a hug makes it all worth it 💕. Thanks for reading.
