WOW...the toughest job I have ever done was becoming a stay at home MOM of 7 kids since 2009. I gave up my RN career to raise our blended family and one of MOM's various tasks is assisting these kids with their homework. I hear frequently while helping them "that isn't how our teacher showed us" ...so I think I am confusing them more All I can say is this old brain isn't what it used to be especially with high school Algebra/Geometry. Thank goodness for Google is all I can say on that subject of which I spend an hour researching and learning again what I had forgotten before I can help and be told "that isn't how you do it!" Hmmm, then do it the way the teacher tells you then I can do it the way MOM knows how and see if our answers match and if all else fails...holler for Dad! Since he just finished his college Algebra class he should be a pro but unfortunately, they are doing their homework before he gets home from work.
So I have heard of pregnancy brain but SAHM brain? If there is such a thing I have officially diagnosed myself with it. This MOM can not go a day without checking her TWO date books and calendars for the kids activities and is it wrong for me to be excited on those days that the kids ride the bus to and from school and have nothing scheduled for MOM to do for them or drive them too? I love those boring days for the kids but those are the days they try to think up more work for MOM to do for them. Anyways, my mush brain is signing off for now and the rest of the week is packed with scheduled activities for the kids!
Hang in there MOM's we all get frustrated and my favorite songs is by Darius Rucker is "It won't be like this for long" and Trace Adkins "You're gonna miss this" as those days that this MOM is near tears from all the running and activities I have to do...I am also in tears because this MOM is gonna miss this and it won't be like this for long! My baby boy is 4 1/2 years old and I already miss the diaper changes, up crying at night, spit up.....hang in there MOM you can do this and you will miss this because it won't be like this for long!
In my next life, I want to be a DAD! :0)
