First I have to start off by saying, I know I am really bad about keeping my blog updated. So I have made a new goal to try and post at least twice a week.
Now on I’m moving to my rant. I know I am very blessed to be a stay at home mom. Before I became one I have a picture in my head what the life as a full time mother and life would be like. I could see myself walking around all day long looking my best, playing games, doing crafts, reading books and interacting all day long with my boys all awhile making sure the home is spotless and a full four course dinner ready for when my hubby got home. (holy long sentence batman!)
Now back to reality and that reality is hitting hard since it is summer. My days now consist of my constantly yelling and nagging. It usually sounds something like this “don’t bug your brother! stop pestering your bother! leave your brother alone! don’t make me come in there! I’ll give you a reason to cry! do I need to call your dad!?! If you don’t stop I’m shipping you off to boot camp!!!!!” I keep the house pretty clean but don’t you dare open my closets because they have become my catch all for, well everything! And my poor hubby is lucky if he gets a good meal twice a week. Most nights it’s hamburger helper and other simple meals.
I always hear friends talk about how wonderful and rewarding it is to be with their kids all day long. I enjoy it at times but I’m going to be honest that these kids are going to drive me insane. I really believe with all my heart that they have created a conspiracy to drive me wacky! Once they have me put of the picture then they are going to drive every other adult crazy and one by one they will end up being in charge and from there they are going to take over the world. I have many moments that will just leave the room while they are fighting and hope they don’t kill each other while I go in my room and play silly games just for a moment of self preservation.
Now that I am done complaining I will say I wouldn’t have it any other way. And I am glad I am here (most the time) to be a part of all the fighting, messes, tears and every day laughs and smiles. So to all those moms out there that are home with their kids all day during the summer: Enjoy and stay sane!!
