BURNED OUT!!!!!!
I love being a mom and I feel so fortunate that I was able to stay home with my kids for the last 2 years, but that is all about to come to an end. This is something that is very bittersweet for me. I love being at home with my kids but my husband works so much that I never get a break. I am pretty sure that regardless of what I say he is under the impression that being at home all day isn't as hard as having a job. Toby (my husband) says "being a mom is the most rewarding job". That may be true but even when you have the best job in the world you would need a break. Being a stay at home mom is like doing everything at the office. Including sleep. I am sad to not be home with my kids all the time (once I find a job) but I am also in need of a break. I just wish I had someone I trust that I could hire to watch my kids when i'm at work. My sister has my mom monopolized even though she is 35 minutes away and I don't think I want and extra hour and ten minute drive every day I work. I guess this is something that I need to let the Lord take over from me. Let your will be done God, show me the way. I do have an interview this Monday at Davenport University that I am super excited about. I think I would be perfect for the position so if it is Gods will maybe i'll have a new job as early as next week. I guess the whole point of this post was that I am feeling like an under appreciated over worked mom. I have to admit when my toddlers wrap their chubby wrists around my neck and give me a great big hug it makes it all worth while. Well I think this over worked and under paid employee is going to soak in the company tub (that sounds gross when you think of it that way). Tomorrow is Sunday and when i'm feeling down like this I always feel better after I hear a good sermon and have some good christian fellowship. Praise God!!!!
