It is tough sometimes trying to keep the kids occupied in the morning until the pool opens, I try to do crafts with them or have them play with different things like play dough or moon sand. I just don't like them just staring at the TV all morning but sometimes the TV is what is keeping them occupied for a while so then I can get the chores done in the house that need to be done because once the afternoon comes their is no time for chores it is all kid time. We play outside we have been going to the pool and staying there for at least 3 hours a day then we come home and try and chill out for a little bit, but then we are back outside after dinner because the weather is beautiful and it stays light out until 9. You people say it must be easy to be a stay at home mom and sometimes yes it is easy in the sense of not having to get all the kids up and out the door early in the morning and get to work but it is tough on the other hand because you have the kids 24/7 in the house while you are trying to get stuff done, and of course you have them up your you know what saying I want to do this or she hit me or he took this or the #1 I am BORED!!! I really take it seriously I try to keep them structured most of the time but it has been tough the passed couple of weeks from being so busy. But I am trying to get back into the groove of things and it makes it alot easier and their is a lot less fighting when you keep them busy and doing something. So yes my chores in the summer go on the back burner alot of the times. I keep my house descent but I don't keep it immaculate like I use to a long long time ago. But I have finally excepted that, that is ok everything doesn't have to be perfect as long as my kids are having a good time and I am sane this is how it is going to be!
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far!!!!
I can't believe there are people out there that still think being a stay at home mom is easy! I think being a working mom is easy. Someone takes care of your kids for pretty much the whole day and when you come home from work the day is pretty much over. Kids are a full time job. Especially if you have more than one.
ReplyDeleteYup and once you have kids, the house is never the same, LOL. Unless you can afford a housekeeper, which most of us can't!
P.S. Love the new look.
