Employment: HOMEMAKER

When asked for my employment title I would always say, "Oh... I'm a stay at home mom." Not really giving myself any credit for what I do. Unfortunately, I wouldn't speak very powerfully about my "employment" until one day I was on the phone talking to an insurance agent and she asked me where I was employed and I responded, "Oh, I'm just a stay at home mom." She immediately responded with a stern voice saying, "Your not JUST a stay at home mother. You are a HOMEMAKER. You have the hardest job out there." Then something clicked in my head. She was right. I'm not JUST a stay at home mother. My job is 24/7 with sleepless nights and no lunch breaks and I am unable to clock out early or call in sick and I'm on call with ZERO vacation hours. But don't let that description fool you. My job definitely has it's perks and benefits. Unlimited hugs and kisses. Constant lovey doveyness. Randomly hearing I LOVE YOU MOMMY all throughout the day. Gifts and paintings from my daughter but of course the gifts are empty jewelry boxes or candy but hey it's the thought that counts lol... My babies always thanking me for what I do for them. Always making me laugh with their silliness or mood swings. These little things make it all worth it. My little munchkins are definitely my miniature best friends. They are always at my beckoning call. They love helping me with whatever I am doing no matter what the time. They laugh at my jokes even when it's not funny lol... My life is nothing less than a blessing. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Degree in sociology???? I say NO THANKS! My life is perfect the way it is.....

  1. personally i'm convinced that it's way harder to be a stay at home mom than a working mom. i'm learning to appreciate being home with mia and really love homemaking. its not something we're stuck with because we have nothing better to do, or because we're not capable of doing anything else, its totally a calling, and really, not everyone can do it well. yay for motherhood, and yay for you giving yourself due credit!
