What crap this is..
I've worked an 8 hour shift today, I did a 30 min walk around the block after work to get my exercise in, I go to pick up my kids from my moms, spend an hour there, drove 30 min home and my kids are asleep by 8pm! What the hell??o Now don't get me wrong, I like me some "me time" and drink a glass of wine/beer every now and then but seriously? Days like today I want to hear my girls laughter, cook them dinner and hold them. So back to the topic: on average, I'm spending 10 hours a week (mon-fri) with my kids? Freaking ridiculous!
How are working moms suppose to be a mom to their kids if they have to work 8-12 hours a day and then pick them up from school/daycare/caregivers and enjoy time with them when they have to focus on: baths/showers, dinner, homework, potty training, feeding babies, changing diapers, doing laundry and trying to gather your wits? Some nights, I forget to eat myself cause I am so wrapped up in making sure the kids get food, changed, a bath -if they're lucky, sometimes mom has to give the baths cause I'm so tired from work- and making sure I have clean scrubs for the next!
I don't know what the secret is but I'd love to know how to be a SAHM (stay at home mom). How do they make an income to help pay bills?
I just wish I could be making the memories my mom is with my kids. They are only little for so long and I don't get to cherish these moments as much as I'd like to. Until the Lord guides me to where I can be a SAHM, I get to do this freaking dilemma all over again tomorrow...
