Stay at home mamas are saints

So just a disclaimer here that you may not agree with my thoughts in todays blog... First of all just like the title states I'm pretty sure that my thoughts when I was young and didn't know any better, that I would have babies, quit my job and stay home with them... I know now to be foolish not because it isn't rewarding or fun it's just a shit load of hard work!! Stay at home mamas are saints!! I found myself today with my half my body inside Trumans blowup play house with my head laying on his wobbie half asleep singing songs to him so that he would just stay still for a few minutes! This and thinking that I would 1) try and work at all today from home and 2) heaven forbid get a load of laundry done...noooo! SAINTS I tell ya! Now that's not to say that working moms have it easy we have our own sets of challenges I'm just sayin'.

So with that said Truman is feeling much better, spent most all of the afternoon after his nap without a fever over 101 so i take that as progress and he ate some lunch and dinner...wuhuuu!! Back to work for me and school for Truman tomorrow (which I'm sure he'll be thrilled about!)

Hank is with Rodney at Costco, they even took the dogs with them!! Which leaves me all alone...to myself!!! Holy smokes!! So I do get to get some cleaning done, a load of laundry in the washer and some work done all before sitting down to write my thoughts for the day...talk about an awesome end to a Tuesday!! (thank you babe!)

On a new front, with my mothers day gift (iPad) I have decided that I will take advantage of the cool ibook app and actually read a book! Now let's not get carried away with book club invites just yet I'm going to try and ready one book over the next couple of weeks and see how it goes....most the time when I try and read in the evenings I get about 3 pages in and am dead asleep last night I made it 12 pages!! Reading "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls...so far so good!

Oh p.s had I not been home today with Truman I might have just missed out on this shot...(being home has it's perks) ;)
