A day in the life
In the car today, I was scanning the radio and heard the end of a conversation about stay-at-home-MOMS. I am sure there were two sides, but the call I heard was something like, I could never stay home. I mean, what do they do all day?
Well,anonymous caller, in case you are reading (fat chance), I thought I would give you the details of a typical day in my SAHM life.

LOL! You go, girl! I decided a long time ago that the term "bored housewife" was coined by guys who only wanted to sell porn and didn't actually know any SAHMs. I can't remember sitting down long enough to be bored even for a minute in the past 3 1/2 years!
If you're still in town Saturday, add "swing by Rebekah's new house" to your to-do list. Be careful, though - I might put you to work!
What are you talking about? You completely forgot to mention the 3 hours of soaps you watched and the gallon of ice cream you ate!! ;)
Amen! I love it! I almost fell out when a friend (who din't have children yet) asked me that one time. I also heard a story recently of a man that got home from work and the whole house was a mess and everything was out of control... he thought something bad was wrong with his wife so he ran through the house looking for her...finding her in a chair sitting. He asked her if she was okay and what had happened. She told him, "You know who you are always wondering what I do all day? Well, today I didn't do any of it."
Have a great weekend!
Hats off to all of you SAHMs. Your priorities are in the right order!
Hugs,
Pat
