I am a SAHM. If you aren't familiar with that term it stands for Stay At Home Mom. Being able to stay home with my children is a blessing that I do not take lightly. This is a calling, not just a crazy idea to cut our income in half. There is a badge of honor that SAHMs or SAHDs wear but from time to time I feel like I am looked down upon for choosing to follow this calling. Staying home is my greatest joy.
Today I proved to be the "least at home" SAHM. As I pulled out of my driveway at 8:20am I knew there would be very little time at home to take care of household duties, I just didn't realize it would be only 90 minutes. The last child was picked up from school at 3:45pm. I really thought having kids at school would mean I could come home to eat bon bons and watch Oprah. Nope, that's not what I do all day. Geesh, who knew?
Tonight was pizza night and then everyone outside to play ball. Oh how I love to just hang out with the family. We had a blast until we couldn't take the biting bugs any longer. Even though our family is busy, I am so thankful that we know how to take care of each other and make our moments count.
