This monring has been great! I got up and showered, all before 7:30 a.m. which is a huge change for me, then took Dean to catch his train. On the way home I scanned the radio and found a Christian station talking about the role of mothers and especially stay at home mothers. I listened and cried all the way home. I’ve been struggling with being at home knowing I am not bringing in any money, and hearing that message touched my heart so much. I thought some stay at home moms might be interested in this, about Bring your Daughter Home day, it’s supposed to be a way for SAHM to bring their daughters home since some schools didnt let them do that on Take Your Daughter to Work day, since they thought SAHM is not a real job. I know it’s a Christian oriented thing, but even if you’re not a Christian you should still be able to stand up for you choice to be a SAHM.
It’s so early and I’ve already got a lot accomplished. I’m starting to diet today, I just hope I can keep up with it. It’s hard being at home all day and not munching on goodies, so I tried to stock up on some fruit so I could eat that instead. It’s a beautiful day out so I am sure Caleb and I will go for a walk and now that its so nice I should be able to walk more often so hopefully that helps too. With any luck I can lose some weight and get in shape, I’d like to do that and then maybe think about having another baby. But theres no way I am not doing it again without being in a little better shape. Especially since I’ll be pregnant and taking care of Caleb, and it’s hard enough to keep up with him now. Not to mention he’s been standing unsupported a lot more lately and he walks great when we hold his hands, even if we just hold one of his hands he can walk. So I’d say by the end of the month he’ll be walking and standing by himself, so I better get ready to be on the move more, it’s hard now and all he does is crawl. Well got a lot to get done today, by the way its Tax Day!
