While eating breakfast this morning I was doing my usual rounds of my favorite Blogging mothers, and Daring Young Mom spoke to me. Well not directly to me of course, or to any one in particular either. She said "I really believe I did not choose to be a stay-at-home maid, but rather a stay at home mom..." Of course! I said to myself. well me too! I'm always so concerned about getting everything done, cooking cleaning laundry, yardwork, errands, that I never really enjoy my daughter. And isn't that what is suppose to be TOP priory when your a Stay at home MOM? So now I say to all who are listening, "I will now devote all my efforts to enjoying my daughter, Teaching her, and playing with her, and making sure she has an enjoyable childhood that she can look back on and smile about. Like I do with mine. So thank you so much Daring Young Mom for opening my eyes to what I should really be doing.....
I think I'm gonna have alot more fun playing with the baby than scrubbing the floor. I'll get that done maybe when shes napping................
All that being said........
Hubby just came in the office with the baby, saying such things like "oh she loves her mommy so much" and "why won't mommy come out and play" and he hands her to me. The second my arm makes contact with her back I feel the slippery goodness of poo that could not be contained by her expensive high end name brand diapers. How did he carry her all the way in here without noticing it himself?? It was everywhere, and STINKY!!! and not just on her and me and daddy but all over the carpet and chair as well......
Well you know what they sayNothing simple is ever easy.......................

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm curious to know what part of Maine you live in. If you don't want to reveal I understand.
Thanks for your post today, I needed it! I think us SAHM's do forget the REAL reason we are here. It's sad how we get caught up in the thing we like the least, cleaning!!
It's amazing how easy it is to lose site of what our real job is. The truth is, I actually like cleaning and enjoy having a beautiful home so much. I really decided to shift some focus when I noticed Laylee starting to respond to her Grandma's pleas for phone time with "I can't talk to Grandma right now. I'm too busy." Hmm... wonder where she learned that.
