On Staying Home

So I have been contemplating some changes. Some changes that seem to be for the better... but as I am typing I can't help but think about the negatives. The negatives of me becoming a working girl! No, not that kind of working girl-you silly! But the kind of girl/woman who works.. .like for a living.

I think I was almost duped into thinking that "working" will give me freedom. That "working" would empower me. That somehow being told what to do every second of 8 hours would be fulfilling. Umm.. hello?? Why do we fall for these lies.??  And how is it that a sweet stay at home mom is looked down on for staying home?? Like *she* isn't anybody- because she... doesn't .. work???!!!
This is a funny thought!

The way I see it...  if I stay at home cooking, cleaning and preparing a haven for my children and most of all, my  husband that will leave me fulfilled! Think about it! How do you feel rummaging through those piles of clean clothes looking for matching socks? How does it feel when your child walks out wrinkled from head to toe and you know it's because you've been neglecting your duties. I know how I feel when my home is in chaos!! I'm mean and angry and sharp with my tongue.. dare I say I find myself blaming my sweet kiddos?? If they'd only help more.... hmmm!! ?? sound familiar??

So today I am at home. My home needs me and I discovered that I need my home just as much. I need it to be in order. I need to provide warm, healthy meals. Love and smiles to all who walk through that front door. And today I can! Because I stayed home!

Blessings to all!
