It Just Hit Me!

I just realized why I often get frustrated with my mommy roll. As I was folding laundry this morning my husband was replacing our 300 year old back door. (My husband is wonderfully handy, he actually renovated our entire old farm house before children). Then WHAM it hit me! My job is like replacing the back door every day three times a day. I do laundry, clean the house, cook meals, but it never ends. If I could just finish something and never have to do it again that would be so rewarding. Back to my laundry!

Why is the grass always greener? When you're a stay at home mom you often dream of going to work and when you work you dream of staying at home. This week I got to do both. On Monday I was home and Tuesday I was excited to go to work. Wednesday I was still excited to go to work but by 5:30 after picking up the kids and driving home trying to think of what I was going to make for dinner, I was tired! Then on Thursday I watched a 1 and 3 year old along with my 3, 2, and 10 week old. By last night I was beyond tired and today I was the happiest woman alive. Only 3 kids, and I got to stay in my pj's all day! But Monday I was complaining, "I've been in my pj's all day and I was running around after 3 kids!?!" The grass is always greener!
