Thank You for Coming Home Today!

Real Estate Technology with Virginia Beach

Whew it has been a whirlwind the past few months and I can't complain.  I started with New American Mortgage in the beginning of March and had more successes in the past few months I think than in my whole career as a mortgage consultant in the past 6 years.  I am so greatful for the quick success but sad for the amount of time it has taken me from my young and growing family.

As most of you know I have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old little boys. I have spent many evenings lately working and doing events with my referral partners. I work so hard now so I won't have to in a few years. 

Last night I went to an event and made some great connections in the community but didn't get home until 9:30 and my 4yr old was still awake waiting for me.  I will be away from them Wed, Thurs and probably Fri night this week.

So, today I got home at 6:30 and decided to take my boys on a date night.  We jumped in the car and off to the mall we went!  We walked around the mall and stopped at the pet store to admire the cute little puppies and kittens. 

Next we went for dinner at the food court.  Anything my boys wanted - I was not going to tell them no.  Hunter picked out cheese pizza and white rice so that his baby brother could share with him.

As we were sharing our meal together Hunter ( my 4 yr old) asked me "What did you do today?"  And we had a nice little conversation talking about our days.  I wasn't prepared for what he would tell me next....

"THANK YOU FOR COMING HOME TODAY"

Thank you Hunter for reminding me how lucky of a mom I am to have 2 of the greatest little guys I could ever imagine! Thank you for loving me unconditionally and for forgiving me!  Thank you for making my life wonderful and for pushing me to be a better person!

it is a great challenge building a business and keeping time in check .. FYI OPRAH time blocks personal time in blocks of 30 mins ... just think how happy the boys would be to have a 30 mid day play date with mom

I've made it commonplace to have the laptop on my lap while spending time with the kids. I try to spend every second I can with them. I also will work from home and stop in the middle of my day to spend some time with them. Congrats on your success. Just don't forget those guys are only that age once. :)

Eileen - they sure do!  It is hard to be in a bad mood with those guys around!

Eric - I am getting better with it and I usually spend at least 1 full day with just them! 

Steve - It is hard because I am so loyal in my job and my family.  I work hard to provide for my family but trying to juggle is the hard part.  Thanks for your comments!

Happy for you! Naoma your Lil men are handsome!  I agree with Eric & Steve...Take time out daily for your family!  Especially, your lil men.  I admire your goals, and I agree with you...work smart to have more Time & Financial Freedom.  Put God first he will work it out for you!

When I was your son age, I missed my father and was very angry with him.  It was'nt until I became an adult I understood why he was never home.  He was a workaholic!

Wishing you the best, and happy that you made time to hang out with your lil men!

Dearest Naoma,

I am so pleased that you are taking the time to be with my wonderful grandsons. It reminds me of dates we had where we spent time smelling perfumes. I remember those times and miss them as well.

You are an impressive business person but a better mon.

Love to you, and your wonderful family,

Love, Dad

Naoma, what adorable little guys!  I can understand how hard it's gotta be to stay out late!  I somehow think you'll get the balance down!

Dad - It is hard and I absolutely love being with them.  I learn so much and laugh so hard when I am with them. 

Patricia - thanks! I think so too!  It is a work in progress.  It is a huge sacrifice though.

Naoma, its great to be busy at work and make good money. EXCELLENT idea to make sure to spend time alone with the boys. We sometimes forget that we have a very special support group at home that miss us.

Naoma this is definitely one of my favorite blogs all year-SERIOUSLY! It's great to see a busy hard working loan consultant still make time to spend with her two beautiful children. Have a great weekend. Great post.
