a naive mind.

Last night I had a random memory from a couple years back...

I met an older friend at an OBU basketball game. It was their reunion weekend. As I was sitting next to her she was looking over the "what are you doing now" papers and stated shoot me if I ever put homemaker as my job. At the time, it was funny. I had no clue what a homemaker even consisted of. My initial thought was laziness and an excuse to not work. I couldn't fathom being a stay at home mom. boy, was I wrong, WAY wrong! Now take into consideration at this time in my life family and kids were FAR from my naive mind.
Right now I would be writing homemaker as my occupation and let me tell you it was one HARD job. Learning to multitask has probably been my most challenging task yet. Doing laundry while trying to play with Ryder is challenging. He demands my constant attention, unless he's sleeping. But being a homemaker isn't just taking care of a baby, its taking care of the house, your husband, bills, laundry, dishes, meals, shopping and the list goes on... for me, that's a full time job that is much more rewarding than bringing a little paycheck. i'm so thankful that i can stay at home and watch my baby grow up. I dont have to miss out on his "firsts". My heart seriously melts when I look at my precious little boy, especially when he smiles at me. There is no greater feeling than looking over his crib, him looking up at me & smiling as big a smile that he can muster up. I wish every mom had this opportunity .
