A day in the life of a SAHM

I want to bring you into my life for a minute. I want to bring you into a day in the life of a stay at home Mom or SAHM. Are you a SAHM? Do you know a lot of Moms that are? Do you want to be?
Many women don't know what it involves, some have even asked, "how do you do it? I could never just stay in the house with a baby all day", so I'm here to show you what it is like. It is hard to believe how much I have to do in one day...I should get an award or something.

Well, it starts off with a messiest hair contest....

pssh, show-off, she always wins.

She pees enough for 5 babies at night, so is usually soaked straight through. That means she has to be undressed, washed off and I HAVE to kiss THAT belly...hard work, I tell ya.

Our next task, getting a centered picture with both of our heads to send to Daddy. This can be a difficult project and has taken months to master.

After that tedious task, it is on to pirate faces...

I'm sure you're wondering how I deal with this by now...I told you she is a show off.

After all that hard work kissing baby belly and taking a self (+ one) portrait, losing at both the messiest hair AND pirate face contest, I bust my hump in the kitchen making a banana, peach and Cheerios breakfast, only to have my breakfast date shove food in her mouth.kind of like this....

After that mess, she has the nerve to follow me around with a big, goofy grin.

Obviously, I'm annoyed at this point, so I turn her away and she moves on to using every bit of her energy to get to the dog

...only to have the dog walk away the second she gets there. So, she moves on to playing hide and seek...

You wouldn't believe how many times I have lost her.

Then I have to listen as she plays DJ at what she likes to call Club Bebe...

and the second I walk away, she waves for me to come back...

AND begs me to dress her up like a lady bug...

Just so she can do her bug dance...

Oh, the work of a SAHM is never done.

At this point, as you can imagine, I am pretty much exhausted, but she wants to try on hats..

I know what you're thinking, it's a rough job, but somebody has to do it.
I mean, there are some days where I don't even get to put shoes on and we just stay in our bear feet....

All of this.All day long.
To top it off...I can't even get a break from looking at her at night...

And THAT my friends, is a day in the life of a SAHM.

Hopefully you added your own sarcastic tone to this entire post.

Honestly, I am having the time of my life. THIS is what life is about. THIS is what having a baby is about. Enjoying every possible second. Waking up to a smiling face. Playing all day. Some days I am so consumed in this little life that hardly anything gets done. But, you know what? It will be there tomorrow and the next day and the next. Madeline's baby days will not. And the best part? My husband gets that too and also spends his entire night, from the time he gets home until she goes to bed, playing and enjoying her too. Spoiled? Nah. Loved.
And as most people would say about a job...
I am so grateful for this amazing opportunity I have been given.
That comes from the heart though.
