During event weeks I work long hours and don't always get to be home for the "normal" nighttime routine. I think we take normal for granted. I have been at home full time for over six years and while I've enjoyed every single second of it there are times when you start to feel restless and anxious to get out of the house and accomplish something aside from raising kids full time. I'm thankful that I get that opportunity at my job and as an added bonus my job and its hours help me remember how important the normal, boring, little things truly are. Recently, as I sat with Maddox and did his evening homework I realized just how much I had missed this lately. I had only been away for a few days but it was enough to remind me how special these moments really are. Doing addition problems with my first grader or studying spelling words with my second grader fill my heart fuller faster then anything I've ever accomplished.
