People always ask me, "So, how is it staying home?" I always respond with "GREAT!" I must tell you that many look at me puzzled or like I am not telling the truth. The truth is that I really do think it is great. Yes, there are days that I think I might go crazy if I have to experience one more tantrum but isn't that the way it is with any job? I don't think I am super mom for staying home either and do not think I am better than a working mom. In fact, I have done that working mom gig and it is far tougher than this staying at home gig. The truth though is that while we have our days at home and running errands like grocery shopping the real truth is the key I think to being a stay at home mom is to try and not stay home too much! HA!
I also hear people say that if they had to stay home all day with their kids they would go crazy! I think I would too! I might end up chasing my kids around with sticks. Instead we get out and let them play in the water with sticks.
So, when I say great I really mean it because I know if I wasn't doing it I would miss times like these where Bailey is pretending to water the flowers.
I wonder what life was like for moms back when they had covered wagons? I am pretty sure it had to be tough. I mean after all they did not have washing machines or TV.
Maybe Indian moms had it really tough. I stepped inside that Tee-pee yesterday and let me tell you...
..it did not have a/c.
So yes, things are great. Even if at times instead of being home we aren't home at all but rather on the move seeing the world.
Eating our lunch in the stroller...
playing with leaves instead of toys
or better yet leaves and friends.
Now, this is going to sound quite silly to some of you but I must say that my least favorite time of the day is lunch. I didn't think I would ever say it but at this stage I feel like it is exhausting and this momma loves to eat. I think it is because both kids are getting tired and thus can be fussy and then the mess by these little monkeys can be like cleaning up with the army. Hey, don't shoot me if you come over in the afternoon and the table looks like it had goats eating at it. Anyway, I was glad yesterdays lunch did not take more than throwing a quilt in the wash.
Oh and dancing around with your lunch always adds fun.
Espcially when you are super cute!
So, yes life for me right now is really great and I am not just saying that.
Someone once said that being a stay at home mom must be nice because you never have a boss! HA! I guess this is true. I have had some real "donkeys" for bosses but now I answer to the one in the above picture. I will give you a hint....it is not the donkey.
She is the sweetest little boss at times. Oh and I am just kidding I am actually the boss. Well most days anyway.
My little boss really thinks that she is a princess.
I try to treat her like one but I will also be honest and tell you that there have been times I may have resembled the angry step mother.
I love my knew job even if it is no fairytale.
I really can't imagine being any place else right now. So, yes things with the kids are great. They are not perfect. We have our moments. My house is more of a wreck then when I was a working mom. I am less efficient with laundry but I am watching them grow and change right before my eyes. Something I know I can not stand to miss! That my friends is the honest truth.
