I feel so blessed to be a stay home mom. I have been a stay home mom for about a year and a half now, but I do not think I have ever said how blessed I feel to have that opportunity. I am so grateful, that I get to spend all day, everyday with my wonderful daughter. I am so happy that I can meet with my great friends and their kids during the week, and I am glad that I get to take Payton to do fun things during the week. (This week we went to lunch, shopping, to the zoo, and to a cookie exchange party).
I feel like I have been so stressed out the past several months, that I have forgotten how blessed I am to get to see her so much. Sure we have our rough days, or rough weeks, but at the end of everyday I am so happy to have her in my life. At times I wonder if I have the patience to have more kids, but I think that is because I forget to look at all the good things my daughter does, instead I think I tend to focus on all the trouble she gets into.
So today is a new day and I have a new attitude, which I hope stick around for a while. I really am so blessed to have a husband that wants me to be a stay home mom as much as I want to be one, and a husband that works hard so we have this opportunity. I am blessed to have a wonderful mom that loves her granddaughter, and is willing to have us over during the week, and is willing to watch Payton for me, when I need to make phone calls for work. And lastly I am so blessed to have great friends that know just how you feel and are always willing to talk.
