Stay home

Staying home with your children can be so hard and so fun. The hard part is that it can be tidious, and you can find it hard to keep the kids entertained. Also, everyone thinks that I should be home all the time. I'll get messages from firends saying "thought you would be home but I guess your not", or "where are you". Even if I am home sometimes I can't answer the phone, one of my good friends told me once "the phone is for your convience not everyone else's". This is good advice but something inside me says "you should answer that phone" or "when you can you had better call them back". I think that something in my head is thinking "if you don't call them back then they will never call you again", and that I'm sure is not true.
The fun part about staying at home is that you get to see everything first, the first smile, first steps, the first time your daughter helps her brother eat a snack, and the first time they play together. It is so neat to see your own children evolve into "big kids", sometimes I get overwhelmed with this they get so big so fast. It is definately the best job that I've ever loved and hated at the same time.
