My Glamorous Life as a SAHM.

Me:      "Man, I smell REALLY bad.  And my head itches."
Andy:  "When was the last time you showered?"
Me:      "I have no idea."

Such a glamorous life I lead.  Sweats and messy ponytails.  Napping instead of showering.  Limited adult interaction.  Hours of listening to Baby Beluga on repeat instead of my usual normal music.  Chicken nugget Happy Meals instead of fancy dinners out...

But I totally wouldn't have it any other way.  I was debating going back to work after the little man is born...but I just don't want anyone else raising my baby.  When Isla is in Kindergarten I will most likely return to work.  So I've got some time :)  I feel very blessed to be able to stay at home, and I know Andy works his butt off to make it happen. 

The only bad part of being a SAHM is needing to be self motivated, which clearly I am not.  How hard is it to actually get up and shower in the morning?!  Not hard.  But I sleep in until the last possible second.  If I do decide to shower while Isla is awake, she usually insists on joining me.  So it ends up being an uncomfortable/very fast joint shower.  Sometimes Isla will bring her chair in the bathroom and throw her bath toys at me while I sing The Wheels on the Bus or Itsy Bitsy Spider over and over again.  I'm not sure which I prefer.  By the time Andy gets home, I'm too tired to take a shower, and I tell myself I'll take one in the morning.  Vicious cycle. 

The joys of being a SAHM totally outweigh the bad stuff.  We have weekly, sometimes even biweekly play dates,  I get to teach Isla her basic skills (she is totally rocking her shapes right now and can almost count to 5!), I get to snuggle her, and watch tv with her, and play outside with her, and take classes with her, and I get millions of kisses throughout the day.  It's the best job EVER!

Now I'm off to put my little buddy back to bed, AGAIN.  Ugh.  Nap time isn't going well today!  And I'm DYING for a shower...
