The Bottom Line Material things aren't as important to me as they are to others. Sometimes, ten minutes of peace can mean the world when you have 4 kids in the house.
As a stay at home mom, my days consist of changing diapers, feeding babies, making breakfast/lunch/supper, doing dishes, washing lots of laundry, picking up toys, grabbing things from my 20 month old that she shouldn't have, giving medicine when it's needed, cleaning off the stove from making the meals, dealing with the phone calls and bill paying, making appointments for doctor visits and so much more. There are times I wake up and wonder if I'll get through the day. I'm not the type of person to ask for roses or jewelry. I don't even like those things for 'suck-up' gifts. Matter of fact, it just annoys me when they use gifts to say "I know I messed up and I'm really super sorry." Cards are nice, but don't wait for my birthday, Mother's Day or Valentine's Day. What do I want to make me happy that I don't get most of the time? I want to be able to soak in the tub without being bothered by the boys fighting or a baby screaming. I want to go hide in the bedroom, just relaxing in bed alone perhaps to read a book or just to reflect on the day. I want to be able to watch an entire tv show without someone standing in front of the tv or having to talk to the mother-in-law about something stupid. I want to have one night without having to get up every other minute for child control. But most of all, I would like to hear "I appreciate all that you do for us." by anyone who lives in this house.  |
