I would like to clear up a little delusion I recently held. I for some reason thought that when you become a stay at home mom, you might have a little more time. Ha! Maybe this is true for some people but not for me! I mean how many things can one girl run....
This is where I have been since January,
Running my house, which seems to get way messier than it used to, or maybe I notice more because the human vaccuum that I have living with me has like a radar for the smallest remnant on the carpet. I swear I vaccuum once a day. Talia is an expert choker, in fact, she can cough on demand for attention. I think I should put it in her baby book as her fist word....
Raising a baby. A baby brings the most massive amount of love one can withstand before they are overcome. Its a complete roller coaster of emotions hour to hour, but I wouldn't change my little bundle of bossy, adventurous, independent, brilliant, beautiful, love for anything! In fact, I can't imagine only one of these little bundles. (This is not an announcement, simply a declaration that sometime within an undefined amount of time, I'd like another.)
Helping my husband run his business. Sometimes I feel a little selfish that I am working at Pier 1 because I want to and some of my friends are going back to work because they have to to supplement the family income. Its been a big blessing for our family for West to be an entrepreneur. We've been in charge of our own stability in a shaky economy and its been good to know we aren't at the mercy of someone else's payroll to provide for our family.
Working at Pier 1. Its a nice little out. Helps me feel important by giving me a way to provide insurance for the fam and I really like the discount!
Helping to run a restaurant. If you haven't tried it, don't........Its a lot of work for small margins and its a breeding ground for opportunistic crime and slightly lesser offenses.....
Starting my own business. As if I had nothing else going on. I am not willing to give up my career. I love design. I can't stop. Its an addiction. So, if the opportunity arises, I'll be ready!
How could you not love this face!!
