While being a stay-at-home mom, I have been able to do a lot! But it also doesn’t feel like I’ve done a lot! Know what I mean? We do so much, but then we look around, we feel accomplished for maybe two seconds, but then it also feels like we did nothing. The next day it looks exactly like it did before we cleaned it. Crazy, right?!
Mom life. But I also wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I love being a mom, and I love being home with my children. Although they may drive me crazy sometimes, I would do anything for them! They are my children. They are a part of me, a huge part of me!
And even though I may be productive around the home, I need to be productive in the home, as in with my children. There won’t always be toys to clean up, the kids will grow up, and they won’t want to give me as many hugs as they want to now. I will miss those times. Which is one of the many reasons I decided to stay home. Time lost is time that you cannot get back. I’ve lost so much time with my kids this last year, and it’s not going to happen again. Not as long as I can help it, anyway. 🙂
Being away from my kids is hard. Especially this last year. I know people will probably judge us for how we did what we did, but it was all we could think of at the time that didn’t cost us our paychecks. Did it still suck? YES! Absolutely. Would I do it again? I don’t know. I guess if I had to, but not because I wanted to. Yes, my husband and I had time together throughout the week, but I still would’ve rather had our kids with us. I’m so thankful to have them home with us now!
What do I do with the kids at home? Well, we have breakfast in the morning, let the kids play with their hundreds of toys that they have. I do let them have their kindles for a little while. Yes, I’m that kind of mom. It helps sometimes. It keeps them still, and allows me to get some things done without them needing something every five seconds! They are usually still in the same room with me though, or as I walk back and forth between rooms, depending on what I’m doing. And sometimes, they will offer to help me, again, depending on what I’m doing! 😀
Then when hubby gets home from work, sometimes he goes back outside and works some more (on vehicles and what not). Then I will try to figure out what to cook for dinner. And we go from there. Then after dinner, we usually just chill, maybe watch something on the TV or watch a movie. Last night, we watched AquaMan! We like the Marvel/DC movies, Star Wars, LOTR, and all those kinds of movies! But if you were to ask me, while I do love those series, I also love romance/mystery, chick flicks! My hubby doesn’t watch those with me too often though! Every blue moon, he may watch one, but not very often!
What kind of movies/series do you like to watch? I like something that the whole family can watch! Which our kids are still pretty young, but there’s still some things that we can all enjoy watching together! Disney movies (the older ones), PIXAR movies, all the good old movies like that! I also like comedies, or romantic comedies! TV shows like Psych is a good one, which isn’t too bad, I can watch it in front of the kids. it’s not super graphic or anything!
Then we all go to bed, and do it all again in the morning! 🙂 I love my little family though! Wouldn’t trade them for anything! Not even my husband! 😛 We have our moments, but he is the best and I don’t know what I would do without him! He’s a great supporter of us and my goals, and that is something I love about him!
