If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question "what do you do"?
Well, considering my job is a Stay At Home Mom, it'd be kind of tough not to say exactly that.
Stay At Home Mom includes but is NOT limited to:
- very, very little sleep (especially with a newborn)
- half a pot of coffee in the mornings (dont judge me... if you also drink a gallon of coffee a day, heyyy!! let's be friends!)
- cartoons... and knowing all of the theme songs (and singing them when your child is nowhere to be found... stupid Strawberry Shortcake).
- coloring, blowing bubbles, playing outside
- weekly field-trips so that none of us go stir-crazy! (mostly me).
- take a gazillion pictures throughout the day. it's normal to have over a thousand pictures in your iphone. true?
- kissing boo-boo's and re-filling endless amounts of juice!
- reading half of a chapter of a REALLY good book. i'll finish it one day... maybe.
- fitting in any sort of exercise during naptime. unless it's the treadmill... it literally sounds like a train is coming through my house. do they make a quiet one of those? please share.
- washing the same load of laundry at least twice because it sits in there so long, it stinks.
- throwing said load of laundry on the bed and calling it a day after it's dried. who has time to fold and hang?! pfffttt....
- kiss husband hello and share SAHM duties until bedtime.
- maaaaaaybe get that pile of dirty dishes cleaned before bed (probably not)
- read bedtimes stories and give a millllion kisses and hugs before turning out the lights
- coming back to spray
febreezMonster Spray all over the entire room to protect the little ones. - snuggle with the husband and watch some shows you DVR'd.
- go to sleep and know that I wouldnt *ever* change a single thing. these days are long and the years are short. there's no better thing for me to do, than raise my girls and watch them grow every day.
What do YOU do?
Oprah once said that SAHM have the hardest jobs of all. They hae to be everything ALL the time. My hat is off to you. (Yes the pun was intented)
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks Aleshea! And it's a tough job, with high reward :)
DeleteSo true! The older I get the more fearful I become of certain things...I think it's because knowledge is power and it rules the mind. Kind of like I used to love flying and now I have major anxiety about a plane crash lol
ReplyDeleteExactly, Adrienne! Ignorance is bliss! :)
