SAHM Rambles..along with unicorns.

So I decided that  I should start blogging more. I mean I did start a blog to get my inner rambles out. So why not put this thing to use.

Some days I think "hey I can write a book about my life" then I start thinking and my thoughts never seem to come out straight. I guess thats what happens when your mind goes a mile a minute. You never really get the chance to stop and think. Between being a mom, a wife and a full time employee life gets choatic, to say the least. It's something I wouldn't change. Although I would love to be able to stay at home again with my little monster. So maybe one day in my journey I will be able to stay at home again. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever want to be a stay at home mom until I was one, then I wasn't.

Being a stay at home mom is a full time job, yes, but it isn't as hard as so many women make it out to be. Yes your day revolves around cooking, cleaning, and chasing your child(ren) but is that really that hard if you sit down and think about. After being a stay at home mom then returning to the work force I really look at all these women who take advantage of their time they spend chasing their child(ren) around.

Something I am very grateful for was being able to stay at home for the first 6 months. I never missed a first. I never had to leave a screaming infant in the care of a stranger. I never had to worry. I never had to ask myself is my baby okay? If you are one of the mothers who go back to work after 6 weeks I admire your strength because I honestly don't think I could do it.  Maybe I am a little selfish for not wanting to miss a first or not wanting to let my child be comforted by a complete stranger in time of need. I still don't like the idea that I am not being able to spend these recent moments with her. She is growing and learning so fast and I feel like I am missing out on so much.

Being a stay at home mom is a gift. It is a gift to you and to your child(ren). To be able to enjoy the little moments with them that most parents these days don't have the opportunity to get. With the rising cost of life it's difficult to be able to afford one parent staying at home. It's sad but true. But I don't really want to go into that subject because why try to battle the inevitable?

Whew, I guess there is a lot more on my mind than I originally thought when I started writing this blog. Now my brain has run out of juice. I guess that is what happens when you read things from idiotic women such as "a rare albino unicorn" Aren't all unicorns rare and albino?

With that being said I think my add is kicking in and it is time to for me to bid the blog land a farewell. Until we meet again.
