My postings have been limited the past 2 weeks, mostly due to my new career as a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom for those of you not in the know). This was an unexpected decision, but due to circumstances beyond my control, it became a necessary one. I spent the first week in a fog for the most part. I've worked continuously since we've been married, only taking time off to have babies, so this is the first experience I've had staying home with one of them when they can actually walk and talk (if you consider 5 known words "talking"). By the end of the first week, I realized I'm not cut out for it. The days flew by, and by the end of each day, I hadn't accomplished one thing on my "to do" list, which was actually a lot like work.
Then the second week came, and the fog started to lift. I slowed down and really started to enjoy the whole SAHM gig. I get to spend every day with Sophie, taking her for walks, swinging her, and watching Yo Gabba Gabba marathons. For the record, DJ Lance rocks! At 3, I pick Trevor and Victoria up. Trevor comes home and practices his guitar and does his homework. I'm able to do the laundry and have dinner made when Wesley arrives. I feel so Donna Reed. I'm getting used to this new lifestyle and would even venture to say I'm enjoying it and not so sure I'm eager to return to the rat race so quickly. I do have some possibilities that may allow me to return in the near future, so for now, I will enjoy this momentary pause from reality and soak up every ounce of my kids that I can.
