Thankful Thursday no. 5: SAHM
This week I am thankful that I do not work outside of my home. One of the perks of being a stay at home mom is that I never have to worry about driving on icy roads or in the rain or dark. If the kiddos wake up early and I am feeling like a zombie, I can stay in my jammies all day. Or if they sleep in, I can too! I am here to prepare meals for my family so no one has to rely on "convenient meals". I am always home when Mr. I is off work. While I was also working we rarely got to see each other. But most importantly, I get to spend quality time with Monster and Alien. When Monster was the age Alien is right now I got to spend two days a week with her. The rest of the time I got to wake her up in the morning and put her to bed at night. I can also go grocery shopping whenever I want. I can take the kids to the park or zoo without trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. These days are so special to me. I really am very lucky.

I'm jealous, and then not jealous. There was a time when I wished I could be a SAHM. When my babies were babies and they would get sick, I cried all the way to work having to leave them with someone else. Now that my kids are a bit older, I'm glad that I have a chance to be out of the house each day with other adults. That's what I missed so much when I was on maternity leave.
