ways of the heart!

I am a firm believer than not everything works for everyone. Some women choose to work and some choose to stay at home. I feel like either way is contributing to your family and as long as you are making a contribution then you are making a difference. I have chosen to be a stay at home mom for my two boys. My oldest is 3 years and 5 months and my youngest is 8 weeks. I love seeing all their firsts and being their for them every time they need me. I loved being the one to teach him the ABC's and the one who taught him to count. However, being a stay at home mom isn't all rainbows and lollipops, I can be tiring and stressful at times. I would tell any woman who is trying to be a stay at home mom that is is definitely full time and you don't get many breaks. There will be times when you feel like you NEED adult interaction. There will be times when you feel like if you fold another towel or clean the bathroom one more time you will explode! There have been times when I have just went to my room and wept after a long day of two grumpy kids but I will tell you this...I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love getting hugs all day and I love cuddling with my newborn! It's quite a fullfilling job!

I have been called selfish by a working mom before because I don't contribute financially. Well, like my husband says..."You contribute in ways of the heart and that is much more important than money will ever be!" YES, I HAVE A GOOD MAN! :)
