I didn't really know what kind of picture to put up for todays topic. I don't go off to a typical job everyday but it doesn't mean that I don't work by any means! I wear many hats, but I put this picture up because I was informed by someone whoes name I wont mention that a woman should know her place, and that place is in the kitchen! I don't agree with that neither does Richard incase you might be thinking he said it, though it was said by a man. I do many things in my day even if I don't have anything planned it is always full, having 3 kids a husband and a house will do that to you. I try my hardest to make our home something to be proud of. With 3 kids it can go from clean to looking like a tornado hit in a matter of seconds. But even with all that goes on I like to think that our house is pretty clean most of the time. It does help that I have a real fear of living like a hoarder. I strive my hardest to always have our house look presentable, because you never know who might just pop by. I constantly feel like I'm always going, always making a meal and always cleaning up a mess, always being a peacemaker. Honestly when I look back on my life before being a stay at home mom it was so easy but the reward wasn't nearly as great! Though most days i feel like I'm going to the funny farm I would never trade it and go back to a real job. I would hate to miss out on treys funny sayings, jacks cute little voice and giggle, harpers sweet snuggles and greeting my husband with a hot meal on there table when he gets home from work! I've had a certain type of goal in mind about being a stay at home mom and wife and I like to think I'm accomplishing it. I told myself I would keep this house under control, try and make great dinners and for the sake of my husband never let myself go. By that I mean, I get up everyday take a shower put on my face do my hair and get dressed! None of this Richard coming home and I'm still in my pjs looking like a hot mess! I want to be a wife that Richard is proud to show off and that my kids aren't embarrassed by. (Even though Trey tells me on a daily basis that I embarrass him... But thats another story). So were do I work in the kitchen yes, but I like to think that I'm apart of something a little bit bigger. Like the up bringing of 3 wonderful little humans who I hope will go out and conquer the world. I'm not just a cook I'm a best friend, a nurse, a driver, a therapist, a referee.... I'm the biggest fan of every one in this house and I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money in the world! Nothing is more valuable to me then the embrace of my sweet little family!
