SAHM

The life of a SAHM- Stay at home mom! Does this phrase mean I will never be aloud out of the house?  Or is it just a saying? I think it has a little more meaning to it than one might think. What I have found true of being a stay at home mom.

1) Leaving the house is much harder than it looks. Bring the diaper bag, make sure you actually refilled it with diapers and wipes. Bring sippy cups and snacks(no matter how short the trip will be). Make sure all humans have gone potty before getting in the car. Check for shoes, jackets, favorite toy and shoes once more, as mine seems to take these off at lightning speed. Grab phone, grab purse, get coupons, make sure the indoor cat doesn't bolt outside again, lock the door and then its just the few steps to the car and its relax time right? Wrong! Driving to the store is filled with hundreds of questions and look Mommy's? I am surprised its still legal to drive with toddlers. 

2) There is only so many ways to re-arrange the furniture in your 1000 square foot house.

3) Making dinner is kinda like groundhog day. Chicken again?? Yes kids its chicken again. That is why we have this saying "You get what you get and your don't throw a fit."

Being a SAHM is one of the best gift my husband has ever given me. It has aloud me to spend every second with my precious girls. And sometimes it feels overwhelming, I know that some Mothers would give anything to be able to do this.  For this I am blessed and thankful.
