So I've been a Stay At Home Mom for about 3 weeks now. I have finally realized that I am no longer a working mom (well employed outside of the home mom). I got my last pay check from my employer today yet still haven't received my first paycheck from my new job! So far...
I love:
-doing what I want when I want
-sleeping in
-getting ready when I want
-playing with Conner as much as possible
-being the one to brush his teeth, get him dressed, feed him, play with him and not having to ask someone else what he did all day
-getting to see HIM! I don't know how to really explain this one. I know my kid, but it's different to be around him all day and to see the silly things that he does and says all of the time.
I don't like:
-being bored. I love being with Conner but sometimes adults are nice to be around too. We also stay home a lot. Maybe I need to be more creative and come up with things for us to do, especially since the weather just got ugly.
-our schedule right now. I like my me-time in the morning, so he's been sleeping in until around 10am. But then he's up until about 10pm, which cuts into my time with Chris. So I need to fix our schedule.
-feeling like I have to do it all (with Conner and the house) because I have the time and I don't work anymore.
I'm still adjusting to this. But I'm liking it so far! I still think that Chris and I made the right decision and for the first time in a long time I can say that I"M HAPPY!!!

Just made me tear up a little. I'm happy that you're happy.
Yea for good decisions! Congrats and don't sweat it with the schedule, it will all figure itself out eventually. Enjoy your time
Oh Amber I am so glad that you get to be home with your little man. I am so happy that you are happy! I'm sure it will take a bit for you guys to get into a routine but you will get there.
I'm so happy that you're happy too! You are so lucky that you are able to stay home, I would love for that! Treasure every moment...
