Part 1 is here
Having the best "Job" on earth.
I do.
Now that my daugther naps only in the after-noon, but for 2 hours instead of 2 naps of ½h, we've established a routine of some kind... I actually get "me time" during the day! I know I have at least 1h ahead, yay!
So what do I do during mornings? Chores, and play time with my daugther. She actually loves to wash the dishes "with me". She has her snack while I fold laundry. She does her own thing, principally pretend play in her kitchen or with her doll, while I sweep the floor. She watches as I cook for lunch.
But it is draining. When she goes to bed at night, around 7h30, my energy level is quite low. I feel the need to meditate and take the time to feel that growing person inside me.
It's funny as I never pictured myself as a Full-time-Mom before getting with my BF. Probably because my mom raised me alone, sometimes having 3 jobs at a time. When I thought of having kids, I pictured myself alone with them... something was missing, just like the way I was raised.
And because I always had good grades, people around me somehow had great expectation about a career, or a least, as they say, I could do what I want. Well, I found out what I want!

About Me
- Andréann
- I'm a 23 yr old mommy of two little pixies, sharing my life with my best friend. We live in La Belle Province, French is our first language. In the middle of nursing and caring for a toddler's need, I sew, draw, paint, and take pictures to tell. We also struggle to live an healthy life, apparently surrounded by people that doesn't care much, and we're on budget, too!

I had businesses, good jobs, ambitious goals and nothing was rewarding enough. For three years now I'm homeschooling my boys and it's the best job ever. Life is furfilling, i wouldn't change for the world. So I completely understand what you mean in this post.
ReplyDeleteI will keep a close eye on your wonderful blog :)
I feel a lot of greatfulness in being a mother at home :) It's sort of the best thing ever happened to me! It's wonderful to be there and it's such a reward, nothing compares!
