If I had a hat

Staying at home and being a full time mom is hard work.  It is the most challenging job I have ever had.    Both of my kids require (demand) quality time all day long and I am trying to balance,  keeping the house clean, with rebuilding our new life in the U.S., cooking healthy meals, using every opportunity to teach, along with potty training, cleaning up after and managing our pets, with minimizing TV watching (by Leon), and arranging and attending play dates and parties, etc.

So if I had a hat (I can never seem to find ones that are comfortable, stylish, and fit all my hair) I would take it off for all the SAHMs (Stay At Home Mom)s.

It is not easy to spend the day with your kids.  LOL  that sounds so crazy and If I was not living it I would think a mom was crazy to say that.  I would probaly add, "Man, she didnt need to have kids."  But its true. It's hard to do it all.

But I am up for the challenge.  Whenever I think I should go back to work I remember the people who said this was impossible.  The women (yes I can think of three) who looked me dead in my eye and said LWOP (leave without pay) sounded horrible and they wouldn't want to be me.  I also think about our morning walks around the lake, picnics, playing in parks, and all the  smiles I see first hand.

I've got 11 more months left, or more :).

Ps I was trying to use both hands to iron and I had to put Elsie in the pack n play and she didn't like that.
