I really do have my dream job:

I get to stay home and be mom! It’s great. I am always wanted and needed and loved. I am the boss. If I want to do something fun we go and do it. If I call movie day then we stay home and be lazy. I love being on my time table and trying to balance the kids and the house and the fun. It’s not all roses…Sometimes it gets hectic around here and I forget that I have my dream job. Sometimes when Cali screams uncontrollably I find myself screaming back. Or when Millie tries to change her own diapers or just goes in the shower.  I forget when Tiago thinks 30 minute naps are sufficient. I forget that I’m living the dream when I have 3 am barfers and 6am bed snugglers. When the word homework or chores provokes full outbursts from my older boys it’s not so dreamy. These are just examples from this week BUT then I think of my other options and my life goals and THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE I CHOOSE TO BE.
