It really is ALOT of work being a stay at home mom. I remember before I had kids I thought it would be ultimate. stay home, play with kids, do a few loads of laundry. score right?

WRONG!!

I do about 3 times the work in an eight hour day that I ever did working outside the home. only, my days are never 8 hours! at the end of the eight hour day I have gained a third child to clean up after, serve, and try to keep happy. my days are 24 hours. Espically since my almost 11 month old has been attatched at the nipple due to illness.

It is a concept you don't really understand until you have children..and even then many women do not have the opportunity to stay home.


my days consist of  two whiney toddlers at my feet begging for attention  food.  On my feet all day cleaning, organizing, and re cleaning and reorganizing for about 8 hours a day. only sitting to nurse of cuddle before you run off to rescue someone trying to climb a gate. do the laundry, make lunch, clean diapers, keep everyone happy. In the mean time imagining how horrible of a mother you must be since surely no other almost 11 month olds spend this much time crying, and other moms do so many more activities than I do with my kids.. the neighbours must think I sit on my ass all day wit the amount of tantrums my kids have.. if you walked into my house (while I am taking a blog break) that is exactly what they would see. one child sleeping on couch beside me, and the other watching Donald duck on my iPhone..surely zapping out all of her brain cells are creating tumors..

in all seriousness though..I do love my children and am so unbelievably fortunate to have a husband who makes it possible to stay home and be financially secure. I think every stay at home mom..who is competent deserves one heck of a high five. though on the flip side...i wouldn't want to do what I do..plus leave the house for work..working moms are amazing women.

well my youngest slave driver just woke up in a lethal mood..and my oldest is demanding winnie the pooh..so break over

oh and our christmas cards arrive from whcc..I am in love
