I've done a lot of thinking while I have been home this summer. Thinking about what a horrible SAHM I would make. I can't tell you how much of a better mother I am during the school year when I am working. It doesn't make sense, I know...but, it's true.
Here is a list of reasons why I am better working outside the home.
1. I get bored at home easily.
2. Because of #1, I plan lots of *stuff* for us to do.
3. Because of #1 and #2, I spend money.
4. I reorganize the house every other day. Obsessively. I just look for things to toss out.
5. I bake more often.
6. I eat constantly (goes with #1). Just graze all day.
7. I become a tv junkie.
8. The laundry piles up.
9. I go days on end without washing my hair and sometimes without bathing...I KNOW!!!!
10. My children watch a lot of Sprout.
11. I'm ready to explode by the time Big Daddy gets home.
12. I can't find time to exercise alone. Which isn't good when coupled with #6.
13. I take naps with the boys. Then, I can't sleep at night. Then, I can't get up in the morning. And the cycle continues.
14. Did I mention that I spend too much money.
15. I don't plan ours trips to BG in advance to avoid multiple trips. I just get in the car and go when I want to...regardless of whether or not I went earlier that day or the day before.
16. I start getting annoyed and begin saying *stupid parent remarks* to my children.
Somebody better send me back to work before this whole family unit falls apart.
