I have so many things to be grateful for...yes, I know you have your finger down your throat making a vomit sound...but it's true!
I get to work from home with my own business, I even have a personal assistant! Okay just lying about the last part, but I do get to check my email from my couch! Impressed? ha! I get to be at all school functions for my 8 year old...okay so not the most exciting, but cool none the less, and my son actually "knows me" considering all the time we get to spend together. JOY!
I love the moments when I wake up in the morning and get to casually and non stress fully get Monkey ready for school and get Bean some breakfast while he watches his favorite annoying toons! I actually get to be the mom that I envied soooooo much when I started this blog! The one who walks their kids into the building in flip flops and a comfy summer dress or jeans, while pushing a toddler and carrying on with other moms who are in no hurry to get home or to work.
I know it sounds all peachy, and for the most part, it is. Yawn....but believe me, being at home does not come without its consequences. Tun tun tuuuuuuun!!
I gets no love from people who "work!" They say crap things like "must be nice, not having to go to work" and "oh that's right, you don't work." har har har. I don't even want to get started on the crap my "better half" gives me! Urgh, somebody stop me!
Anyway, since my blog is usually ridiculous ramblings, and random self absorbed and obsessed thoughts, I figured I would share some meaningful s_it today! Do you feel enlightened or inspired? I knew you would! You love caring about my random crap, and I love caring about your random crap...sometimes.
LMAO I love your random crap, it's like me just a different nationality..lol
ReplyDeleteI feel ya though I stay home w/ 2 kids (who till last week) were under 2yrs and people think I just hang out. Just cause I make time to social network it up cause I'm good w/ my time managing skills doesn't mean I sit on my ass all day. We just know how to multi-task =)
Damn right girl! You are my sista from anotha motha!!! haha!!

I feel ya, mama! I work from home as well. Not just with the blog, but with sales. People don't get it!
ReplyDeleteWorking from home when you're a mom just means you're working two jobs. I bow to you, for you are superwoman.

It IS definitely a blessing!
ReplyDeleteI'm an RN, and I love my profession, so I decided to go back to work part time. BUT, I CHOOSE to work at night, after my kids go to bed, so I can be the stay at home mom during the day that I always wanted when I was growing up.
@Kristen Awesome! I would love to do RN work! I am always amazed at the things mothers are willing to do for their kids, including working the night shift.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
