I stopped reading other people's blogs for a while. I don't know, I guess my self-confidence is low enough that I couldn't handle it. My house is messy, my kids aren't perfect and sometimes I feel like I am just too over-whelmed to continue as a stay-at-home-mom. I read a few blogs today, and I have found that if I just read a few at a time, I can be enlightened, and I can also understand better that we are all in the same boat here. The truth is that I like being a SAHM, it's just that I want to make my own income, mainly so that I can afford big house projects (for someone else to do). I have enough trouble keeping the house organized and clean without worrying about decorating. A little bit at a time is how I'm handling it now. This summer though, I have been trying to concentrate on the kids having fun, and participating in many adventures to remember before they head back to school. When they are in school will be a good, no a GREAT time to get into the beautification process of my house. :) I just can't believe that Big Girl Princess will be in 3rd grade, and Baby Princess will be in 3K! I guess that makes her Little Girl Princess now...
This blog started to talk about something totally different, and ended up on the kids growing up and me being kind of frightened by it. I'm not sad, I am very glad that I am able to see them grow up and get older. I often think though how weird it is that I am a SAHM, I never ever thought I would be, but here I am, and it's a great way to build a foundation for my kids. I sometimes wish that I studied home economics past high school though.
