What Do You Do All Day???
Today I was asked, "What do you do all day????" As a stay-at-home mom, I think that is the first time I've been asked that, although I have heard the common joke that all stay-at-home moms do is sit around watching TV and eating bon-bons all day. Ha! Spend a day at my house! The question is almost laughable to me. What don't I do all day? Never mind the fact that I actually do have a part-time job which I do from home. That takes a lot of my time, but even without that, I'm confident that I would still be very busy. Don't get me wrong; there are days that I wonder what I accomplished. But guess what? I am never bored, and I never run out of things to do. So what do I do? I cook. I clean. I do dishes. I do laundry. I plan menus. I grocery shop. I clip coupons. I read money saving blogs. I plan church events. I talk to friends on the phone. I visit with my mom. I change diapers. I potty train. I bathe children. I clean up messes. I host events. I fix snacks. I play. I go on walks. I go to the park. I color. I do puzzles. I pay bills. I do paperwork. I wipe faces. I do hair. I sort clothes. I blog. I keep up on e-mails. I take pictures. I go to doctor appointments. I make food for others. I pick up the house. I kiss boo boos. I cuddle. I put kids to bed. I sometimes find time to read and exercise. But most of all, I try to soak in every day with my children. They are only small once, and the time goes fast. And I wouldn't trade my job for any other in the whole world. I just told Josh the other day that it is so nice to be doing what I know I was made to do. I love my "job," and no, I am never bored!
