This is what we do...

When Scott comes home from a long day at school he usually asks how my day was and what we did that day. Sometimes, I feel like I got nothing done...so when he asks me, "what did you do today?"...I sometimes say, "I don't know...watched our kids all day." and then I ask myself, "yeah, what did I do all day?" He of course doesn't mean to make me feel like I didn't accomplish anything that day, he is just genuinely interested in me and my day with our children. I usually have funny stories about our kids or sometimes I vent my frustrations about the day...etc, etc. etc...most days we just end up laughing about how funny and cute our kids are.

But don't you seriously feel like some days you just got nothing accomplished at home? A lot of the things we do as moms are not tangible...for example, how do you show that you hugged and cuddled with your child that day? how do you show that you validated your child for something good that he/she did? etc., etc. There are other things that are obvious to the natural eye, like a clean home and all of your buckets of dirty clothes empty and drawers filled with nice clean underwear, or bathed children (my favorite!), etc., etc. Anyway, I just think this columnist did such a great job at putting into words what moms do and that is why I am posting this article (thank you Kelsey for emailing it to me!)...I emailed this to some people but in case you didn't get it, I hope you enjoy it and realize that what we do at home is greater than anything you will do elsewhere!

...AND THIS IS WHAT WE STAY-AT-HOME-MOMS DO ALL DAY:

Oh, and by the way...even though, it is busy to be a mom, I always have time for friends...you all know that if you call me, I'll always make time to talk unless my kids are screaming at the top of their lungs...
