stay at home mom

I chose to take the pay cut
and stay home with my children
so I wouldn't miss any
of their firsts

when I got home
from the restaurant last night,
my husband, smiling
with such excitement in his eyes,
told me that while I was gone,
they both said "love you"
for the first time
before going to bed for the night
