Stay at Home Mom

When you think of a Stay at Home mom, I'm sure you think of someone like June Cleaver, a dotting wife, mother, and has everything in order. I am pretty much the complete opposite of this woman! I try to get through each day ONE HOUR AT A TIME! I have laundry to do, there's pee on the floor from my 3 year old's "bad aim" and I'm addicted to the Internet (face book and farm town!)

Don't get me wrong, I love my son and my husband, but it's not all fun and games! We also have a 9 month old Sheltie that has determined that he is also the "3rd parent" in our family to our 3 year old son.

We just moved to a nice neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska where people actually TALK to each other and hang out.. which is nice.. and has helped my need to socialize with people that are higher than my belly button.

Since staying at home with my son, I have felt like I have become less of a person. When asked what I do, (while meeting the new people in the neighborhood) I felt ashamed to say that I stayed at home. I felt as if I was inferior just by saying it! My husband has a great job, but i just wanted to scream "I'm not illiterate, I'm not stupid, I went to college, and this is what we (my husband and I) have choose for our family! After telling my new neighbors of my "job" i find out that I am surrounded by a few other SAHM's! Wow! Awesome! But then I think, I'm sure they have their "shit" together, and have a whole day planner and do laundry from 10-11am on Monday , Wednesday , and Friday.... or some kinda craziness.. we will see i guess!
