I agree that it's as important to be around more when they are older as when they are babies.

I think that's why you enjoy your time with your family so much because you know how to work Tonia time in there too. Of course I'm not a mother but I feel like many women who allow themselves to become slaves to their children and house end up miserable and almost resenting their family. I love that you are showing your girls that women can be mommies, wives, athletes, workers, friends, etc. all at the same time.

Gr...I love "getting" to know you better. Great Q&A.<br /><br />It also helps me understand more fully what I might be in for if our family moves to VA and I become as SAHM. If we move I will stop working (which I love currently and struggle to give up!). I am most concerned with my children's welfare than I am my own happiness in the area so if we move I will be at home to make sure I am able to do for my kids what my mother did for us. Plus I have never been okay with handing over my children to strangers (I took both littlest to work with me for over a year!). If we move everyone will be a stranger; schools, daycares, activities...so I will need to be there to make sure my kiddos are okay and being taught what I want them to be taught. <br />Sorry you can tell I am worried about the possiblity! Thanks for the insight. You really do make it seem workable and enjoyable.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-90322243887086620382010-03-30T10:00:58.641-04:002010-03-30T10:00:58.641-04:00I love mom and running posts!

I am hoping to balance my own part-time practice with being a SAHM at some point. <br /><br />Do you have any treadmill recommendations?
