So what is my thing really? Mommy. Wife. Homemaker. SAHM. That is my thing in simple terms. But really it is so much more. Much more than I can even put into words.
I have never had so much fun in my entire life as I am having now being a mommy. This has truly been the best 10 months, 13 days and 4 hours of my life! Nothing even compares. I had always heard mommies talk like this and I thought "yeah I can imagine what it is like. I will enjoy it someday." WRONG!! There is no way that I could have even slightly imagined what being a mommy and wifey is like. It is so much greater than your mind can even comprehend until it happens to you.
Want to know what the worst thing about MY THING is? Poop? Spit up? Crying baby? No sleep? NOPE!!! It is all the people out there judging my thing. There was once a time where being a stay at home mom was a respected position. But not so much anymore. Mostly when I tell people that I am a SAHM I get looks of pity or that I am just crazy. I am sorry but I brought this little person into the world so that I could actually spend time with him, pour love into him and raise him right! Is that really so crazy? But I can get past the crazy thing. What I really hate the most is everyone telling me to "make sure I have something else besides JUST BEING A MOM" WTF? Really?!? "Excuse me Mr. Artist (photographer, teacher) friend, Please make sure you have something else on the side that is better than just being an artist(photographer, teacher) because I just don't think that is full filling enough and you probably can't handle what you have chosen and will get burned out." What if I just went around saying things like that to people. So rude right? WE all have "our thing" and of course we must have other things we enjoy outside of our thing. But how about we figure that out ourselves.
Anyhoo... This blog WILL NOT be about bitching like I just did. It will be full of awesome things that all have to do with my thing.
I love being a mommy. I love being a wifey. I am having the best time of my life. So please don't feel bad for me. I am not bored. I am not stuck at home all day with nothing to do. I am actually living life for the first time in my life.
Life is so freakin' perfect!!!!!
I LOVE this!! I'm glad you started this blog!!
ReplyDeleteI love this, and I love you!!
ReplyDeleteL O V E this!!! I am not a mom yet, but when I am one, I plan to be a stay at home mom...it is a shame that it has "lost" something...there is nothing better in the world for a child than for his/her parents to love their child and spend as much time with their child that they can...I love your attitude! :) your son is blessed and deeply loved...enjoy every moment with him!
ReplyDeleteVery well said Danica! In a world full of "have" to be better, richer, more beautiful,etc...it's necessary for us mamas to sit back and enjoy every part of our child's life. It goes amazingly fast and being there is the most important "job" we will ever have. I look forward to reading more of your blogs ....especially when I need to remember how lucky I am to be a mama!
ReplyDeleteI was just explaining this very thing to my sister today, how I never knew how much I wanted to be a mom until I became one. Now I don't want to do anything else! Isn't it so great to know that Asher and Tessa get to have moms who really WANT to be with them as our full time job!
ReplyDeleteI love this! For the first time we are living the lives we were ment to have. Our little beings get to grow and learn and are nurtured in the best possible way. There is nothing like being a mom. It's rough, tough, fun, thrilling and new and exciting every single day. Hats off to you dear for putting it out there.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I can't wait to be a SAHM!! I already get bad looks when I tell people I'm a stay at home wife. Guess I just gotta get used to it! So glad you're loving your little (and big!) man!!
