My older sister phoned me yesterday. She was a stay at home mom for a while with her sons, and now works part-time for the school district. She’s been so busy, and so enterprising, and such an inspiration. When her husband’s family poo-pooed the idea of sending her first son to preschool so he’d get more practice talking (which he needed due to speech delay,) she opened a daycare in her own home, and brought preschool to him. She’s so much more diplomatic than I could ever be laughs

We talked about how busy the life of a homemaker is, and laughed about all the “lists” we have to keep… the list you have to keep in your head about the kids’ schoolwork and school events, the list of chores that need to be done in the house, the list of foods you have and foods you need and meals you intend to create… not to mention for me, the list of things I have to do regarding the home business I’m trying to start up, the list of friends and family I need to contact during the week…

It’s been said by so many people, that being a stay-at-home mom is one of the hardest jobs out there. It’s just staggering how busy a person can be, and nobody understands ‘til they try to do it.
