After 3 straight days of being in the house with 2 sugar-cookie-induced children, I would like to reiterate that I want to be a stay-at-home-WIFE – which in my humble opinion is VERRRYYYYY different from the role of a stay-at-home-MOM!
My warped perception:
Stay-at-home-WIFE = nicely-kept-up-hired-housekeeper-peacefully massaged & pedicured woman of said “kept-up-ness”
*NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH*
Stay-at-home-MOM = wiping snotty noses, more LAUNDRY than LIFE (we’ve had this discussion!), packing/unpacking dishwasher 2+ times a day!, and preparation of healthy meals times 3 (break, lunch, dinner) times 365 (days) times 18 (years) = 19,710 meals WHICH YIELDS = very tired, irriatible, non-peaceful, non-massaged, non-pedicured, heavily medicated maniac…
If babies are in my future, God may have to strike me with a lightening bolt to change my mind!... at this point, IT. AIN’T. HAPPENIN’!
...And our kids are actually GOOD KIDS!?!… Bottom line, I’m just a pansy - but at least I know it. Right? That should count for something????
You stay-at-home-moms are my heros! And the stay-at-home-mommers-that-also-manage-to-homeschool, you are flat out SAINTS or just plan crazy! I haven't quite figured it out yet!

yeah girl, stay at home moms rock! I did an overnight with 3 very good kids and found myself feeding, cleaning, and chasing all day. I found out there is not enough free time to remove pants, put on fresh panties, and return pants (my own not theirs) before the 4 year old is crying from the tormenting 7 year old. I don't know how moms do it! ...but I hope to find out someday.
