If you are considering staying at home, be prepared! Prepare for long hours, nonstop to-do lists, no help, and hearing "whats for dinner" way to many times. Its very rewarding to be able to stay at home and raise your children, but it comes with lots of hardships. You go from being appreciated and needed at your place of employment and paid for your efforts, to being the maid. My day consists of, "where is my belt", "what did you do with my bra". Yes I am so terribly sorry I misplaced your items that you were wearing. The way over used, annoying saying that I have come accustomed to hearing at least 5 times a day, "whats for dinner". I have no clue what is for dinner my sweet beloved family, because when I awoke this morning to figure out what was for dinner in 10 hours I was put to work finding all of your belongings that you lost. After having found each item, I'm then spending my time running around the house picking up all of your belongings that you tossed everywhere trying to find one thing, while tending to a very tired grumpy baby. After I had told you right where it was and walked right to that exact spot and found it myself. So onward my day goes to try and figure out the dreaded "what on earth is for dinner". I stumble upon some laundry, not just a little, but 5 loads of laundry. How could this be? I just finished all of it yesterday! To the washer I go. While its washing I will figure out what is for dinner. Wrong. The sink is over flowing with dishes. Didnt I just do them all yesterday? Dishes are finally done, buzzer went off on the washer so tend to that. Now the baby is hungry and fussy. Try to entertain her while I clean up the entire dog worth of dog hair making tumble hair balls across the house. Now, find whats for dinner! Buzzer again. Babys not happy. Dogs need to potty. Its 3pm already, pick my daughter up from school already! Where did the day go! "Hi sweetie how was your day at school?" "It sucked, whats for dinner?"
The wonderful, amazing, exhausting life of a stay at home mommy!
