Being a stay at home mom…
A fellow stay at home mom and I were hanging out yesterday letting our kiddies play when we started imagining ever going back to work. We are teachers by trade, and this time of year is always the best as a teacher. It is grueling, time draining, and tiring, but it is new, fresh, and just plain cool. So we always miss school a little bit each year when everyone starts getting ready for it.
We were talking a little about how we aren’t sure if we could ever go back now that we are full time stay at home moms. We both made the choice when we had our kids to put our careers aside and raise our families, and while I LOVE staying at home, I LOVED being a teacher, too. So, I have always thought I would go back to it eventually… but then we started talking about what it would be like to be a mom and a teacher at the same time. We both agreed that people do it every day, but we wonder if we would WANT to do it. I mean… it is just so fun being a mom, having so much time to spend nurturing your own children and showing them the world… and I always said when my kids were in kindergarten I would go back… and now that is only a couple of years away! I don’t know… will I be ready then, or will I want to be a ‘room mom’ and all that good stuff?
