yep. and sometimes i do.
this is definitely not a debate about who is better: moms who stay at home or moms who work. because i don't think either one is better.
for us, this is what works. we definitely make sacrifices so that i can be at home. i cannot indulge in my baby gap love affair as often as i would like. we don't go out to dinner as much as we would like. oh, and i don't buy $300 pairs of shoes. woe is my life, i know.
i truly, truly love staying at home. i get to watch my two little people grow. i get to do art projects, and sing songs, and play dinosaurs, and go to the museum.
but somedays i have to do art projects, and sing songs, and play dinosaurs, and go to the museum. and it gets lonely. and somedays i just neeeedddd an adult to talk to. today was one of those days. because staying at home is hard work. especially when you have a baby that doesn't nap. and a 3 year old that needs attention, too. and starbucks doesn't deliver. somedays it is just to much work to get out of the house.
today was one of those days. today was a day i was jealous of those moms with careers that they love. those moms that get to leave the house and do something they're good at. sometimes i'm just a jealous whore i guess.
but really, i'm proud to say i stay at home with my kids. i'm proud that matt and i are blessed enough to be able to make that happen. i am thankful that matt works so hard. and at 7pm, when i'm ready for bed i know that for every tough day there are more good days.
but really..can someone make macie nap. her constant gutteral whine is not very becoming. k?

Thanks for your comment! I wish I could be a SAH mom, but will be going back to work too soon. I envy you!
ReplyDeleteit definitely goes both ways! lol
ReplyDeleteI definitly agree with you! Sometimes its just nice to have another adult around. My baby doesn't love napping either. In fact, just this past week did she start allowing me to leave her in her swing while I do other things. *Knock on wood b/c now i'm probablly jinxing myself! It's hard some days. It's the biggest pleasure of my life, but still hard work. Keep in it though - we're doing what we can and our kiddos love us for it. Right now at least (:
