Confessions of a Stay At Home Mommy

Sometimes.... I HATE hearing the word "Mommy" from a little voice that must be inside of my head b/c I hear it waaaay too much for it to be real. This is a hard job! Everyone talks about how wonderful being a mother is... and it is. I do love my beautiful girls very very much, I really do... but here's a few things that I would just loooove to get off of my chest. Enjoy :)

-My 3 year old is obnoxious.
-My 5 month old just wants me to hold her... aaaalllll the time!
-No matter how much I clean this freakin' house it's NEVER CLEAN!!!!
-The laundry is always there... it's like an annoying neighbor. When you ignore it then it just piles and piles until you just can't stinkin' handle it anymore.
-There are times when I wash and dry said laundry and it sits in a hamper for a week. Yes, a week.
-When I make cookies or brownies sometimes I eat more batter and dough than I do the finished product. Yep...
-I really really really want to swear sometimes.
-Having a mute button for my 3 year old is my biggest dream on some days.
-Eating healthy is important to me...so is just plain eating. Therefore, I will sit down with a toasted corndog that was not homemade but OH SO YUMMY!
-Sometimes Kourtney gets candy for lunch.
-At least 3 days out of the 7 days of the week involve me sitting on the couch (be it bouncing a baby, folding laundry, or listening to a very chatty preschooler) and dreaming that I am somewhere far away... very very far away.
-Most days I don't shower until at least 2 pm.
-To go along with the above... I wear lounge clothes most of the time with my hair pulled back and no makeup on... my poor husband. Luckily I am someone that can pull off the lounge look pretty well.
-I hate toys. If you're not stepping on or over them, tripping over them, or picking them up... it means you don't have toys in your house.
-Hearing my baby wake up in the morning is worse than hearing an alarm clock.
-Too much television is not good. But hey... sometimes too much television is the key to Mommy's sanity.
-My phone.. at times I hate when it rings and at others I just wish that it would so I could escape the insanity in my own mind!!!!!!!
-I cry a lot.
-I'm overwhelmed. Sometimes I just can't keep up with teaching, cleaning, laundry, bills, dishes, cooking.
-I really don't like my children sometimes. I really really really don't like them sometimes.
-After a long day if I have to choose between 10 minutes of alone time and a quick clean sweep of my house.. you better believe I'm choosing the alone time.
-My husband is wonderful. Being a mother without him would be impossible.
-At the end of my day, if my children are fed, happy, and alive... I've done my job.
-At the end of a bad day, if my children are alive... they are lucky.
-People that think I have all of the time in the world to chat, play, get pretty... I have some words for them.

For now this is what I have. There are times when my life is complete bliss. But let's be honest... I'm a stay at home mom. It's more difficult than bliss. These are my actual thoughts sometimes. I don't want to sugarcoat anything. There are times when I so want to shut my child up in her bedroom. There are times when I don't care what she eats... the baby is breastfed... I don't have to care so much about what she eats. There are times when I loathe hearing my baby stirring awake from a nap because it means that I've just spent my only 20 minutes alone cleaning instead of doing something enjoyable. I envy people that have a maid. Maybe if I had a maid then this would be a little easier... maybe. But really... this is a hard hard job. It really really is.
