Today I love being a SAHM because...

...I have godawful morning sickness and I don't have to go to a job.

How about you?

SAHM to DD1 (7), DS (5) and DD2 (1)

Re: Today I love being a SAHM because...

  • We had some friends ask to come over for the 4th just last night and I am thankful I have the day to pick up stuff to bbq and clean for company!

    Also, my DD keeps surprising me with these awesome connections that she makes, which I love to witness. Yesterday, some neighbor must have been bbqing. DD smelled charcoal in the air and said, "Smells good Mama...hot dogs?" And then went to the open window and smelled and said "bbq outside." Very cute.

    DD2: Lucia (Lucy) 07/13
  • DD2 woke up not feeling well this morning and although she seems fine now, I'm glad I didn't have to worry about missing work or setting up alternative childcare.  Nobody makes them feel better than Mama!

  • I got to wake up to DS giving me hugs instead of alarm. *Also nice when he got in bed with us at 1:30am I knew sleeping in would happen.

  • It's super hot here so I'm glad to be able to hang around the house in a nursing tank (that would be wildly inappropriate in public) and watch a movie with DD1 while nursing DD2.

    DITTO!

  • In a couple hours we are going to a friend's house for swimming and a bbq with a bunch of the neighborhood kids.

    Also next week during my DD's birthday we are going to the shore in the middle of the week.  What better way to celebrate her birthday than the beach and boardwalk?

  • DS had preschool for a couple of hours this morning; so I was able to make a Target trip alone.  (meaning I did not have to stop to look at toys) Then we spent the rest morning at WF getting a few groceries and played the rest of the afternoon.  FUN!

  • I don't have to stress myself out over being tired because DD doesn't STTN yet.  If I'm tired in the middle of the day, I can lay down when she takes a nap.  I know if I was still on my pre-baby work schedule, I would be practically dead from exhaustion.

  • I don't feel like and haven't done a single thing today but play with my kids.  Love my life!!
  • At lunch today witnessed my boys figure out that raspberries fit perfectly on their fingers. They were so pleased with themselves about this discovery and were more than happy to eat them off their fingers.  I love the little things that I might othewise miss if I wasn't a SAHM.  I also love that me and the boys can stay in our pjs til noon if we want :)

    I was just thinking how I would love to be anywhere else today. DS has been throwing tantrums constantly since he got up this morning and has fought me on every little thing.

    I love him more than anything and being able to watch him grow each day.

  • I love being able spend every moment with my daughter.  She is such an amazing little girl and I'm so blessed to be her mommy.  I also like that I can be in comfy clothes all day and clean the house at my leisure.  And I love that I can find time to get on the elliptical every day.  I don't know if I'd have much me time if I had to work.
