SAHM

A normal day around here

I saw an article about a SAHM.  WTH?  SAHM took me a while, like LMK, IDK, IDC (Aubrey was the 1st to send me a text and used IDC.  I thought she misspelled IDK.).  SAHM = stay at home mom, ohhhhh.  Yep, that's me now, not what I had ever planned to be.  I couldn't wait to retire, but quitting to being a SAHM is just not the same.  I didn't get to finish my career.  I thought someone who got to stay home with their kids had one of the easiest job in the world.  I was home during the summer with the kids which was no big deal.  We played a lot, went swimming, hung out - being home wasn't my "job."  HA!  Being a stay at home mom is tough.  When you see the "soccer" moms on tv that look perfect and have a full breakfast, lunch and dinner ready for their family - I'm sure they exist somewhere, but definitely NOT here!  I don't have time and my kids would wonder what was wrong with me.

It has taken some (ok A LOT) of getting used to, but when the boys say they like being with mom all day and the older kids like knowing I can bring them lunch or whatever they may have forgotten at home that morning, it makes it worth it.

Well, Cade just pushed the button to END his vest before it was finished (I guess he has other things better to do) so it's back to SAHM for me.
