I am soon hanging up my SAHM hat. I have to say that I am jumping out of my skin with excitement to get back to the world of work. I start on Monday and it can’t come soon enough as I really am at my wits end at home with the kids. I love my kids. I love that I was able to stay home with them for these past three years but I can’t do it another week without losing my mind and my kids deserve a mom who isn’t crabby at them all the time because I have to remind them 15 times to get dressed or to listen to me, to not hit your sister/brother, etc. I am relishing the fact that I get to get dressed like a professional and interact with other academics for the good of children.
I have spent the last two weeks taking them to lots of fun places and having a good overall time with them. But they need more socialization and they love being around other kids. They need more than I have energy to give them all day and night long. I truly believe they will be happy kids in daycare four days a week and then they will get all of me when they are home.
We had a great time this past weekend in Beverly Shores and with my brother and his partner. It was nice–long but nice. I’ll post some pictures soon. Off to enjoy a few more days of SAHMhood before re-entering the workforce.
