I have had a simply lovely week off. I am wondering to myself why I don't do this more often. Oh yeah, cause I have a job. I have cleaned my house, hung wall hangings, fixed up my front flower gardens and visited my sister-in-law. Big "wahoo" on the cleaning the house part. I had really fallen behind on that... *gross* Even though I had five whole days off, I still didn't have enough time to get everything done that I had wanted. I didn't sort through my clothes or Joshua's clothes. I've been meaning to go through my little guy's things for a while... I also didn't get my peas, lettuce or radishes planted, which I want to do real soon. Adam tilled the garden for me though, so now it's just up to me. I had wanted to have two mulch bins built, but I would need some help for that. And I need to stake up our baby fruit trees soon, before they are perpetually bent over. (Poor little trees.) Having this week off just reinforces my dream of being a stay-at-home Mom. I love it just that much. I have more time to be creative and I feel like a much better housewife if my house is actually somewhat clean. Being creative to me merely means doing what I love, like gardening or hanging random windows on my walls as decorations. That is my creative outlet... Oh and as a side note, I hope to have a yard sale real soon.

Some Time at Home

Are you selling anything good?
ReplyDeleteHey Beth...I just saw this idea and thought you might like it.
ReplyDeleteoh nice!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI always thought it would be great to be a stay at home mom too, but it never happened. I was very grateful to be able to cut back to 2 days a week when they were very young still though. Aren't you usually part time? Fortunately you get to bring him with you most of the time. :)
It's been full time for the past two months. Although I am grateful to be able to add to the family income, I'd rather be home. Home is where my heart is.
ReplyDeleteI hope to join you for a yard sale. :)
