There are days that I feel like I do nothing and then there are days that I feel like I am so busy I need to catch my breath. I am a stay at home mom and I know that my husband would really love for me to get a job to help out with the bills but I can't picture myself working.
I think that my mind would have a mental overload and I would completely lose it. So it is so hard for me to feel like I contribute at times. At times I feel like a failure. There are days that I feel great about the things I do at home because I know that if I didn't do them that they wouldn't get done.
But I guess no one said life is going to be easy.
One huge misconception about SAHM is that we actually stay at home ... and do nothing. I'm with you--being home can be incredibly hectic and harried. Those dust bunnies are more noticeable, suddenly all household chores fall on you (since you're home doing nothing but watching old 90210 re-runs). My funny thing is that I sometimes want a job just to take a break from being "home" all the time :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that pic is awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't see myself going back to work, either. Adding a full-time work-outside-the-home job onto what I already do... b/c it's not like Hubs would step it up and help out... I just couldn't do it.
