My favorite part of being a SAHM (stay-at-home mom) is my ability to go do things I would have not been able to do while working. For instance, today I went to watch my cousin try on wedding dresses. It was SO much fun!!! I think I had more fun than she did... HA! It makes me think that I may need a life, but most of me feels like it was such an exciting moment and I was so glad to be a part of it!!
It made me think about how many things I can now attend or go to since I'm not trapped in an office for 9+ hours a day! Now I can enjoy MOPS, going out to eat with friends, play dates, and many, many more! Although it also means I have time to do the shopping and cleaning during the day... not so fun. Boo.
Sometimes I start to get a bit bored and think about finding a part-time job. But, if I had any type of job (besides being a mommy), I couldn't be as flexible! I think, for now, I'm just going to be a mommy. That job is hard enough! And it also lets me have lots of fun...
What is your favorite part of staying at home?? Or, if you're a working momma, what is your favorite part of working??
The flexibility can certainly be sweet. I've gone outlet shopping, headed out of town to visit my parents and my cousin, had people over, and I'm reading your blog at 9:30 a.m. while Shane pushes his tractors around. It's definitely flexible...but sometimes a little lonely...thank heaven for the internet!
