Second week as a SAHM

This is the start of my second week as a SAHM. Everyone keeps asking me how I like it and how I am dealing with it. Well..... I LOVE IT!!!

Before I had Julia I NEVER thought I would EVER want to be a SAHM. Once Julia was born, I thought it might be nice, but knew there was nothing I could do about it, so just let it go. Now that I am a SAHM (for awhile at least), I am loving it! I never thought I would like it as much as I do. I am having a blast with Julia. When I was working, I worked 50+ hours a week, including a lot of night meetings. So I would rush to pick up Julia from daycare, rush home and throw something together for supper, try to do a little cleaning, shortly after supper it was bathtime for Julia, then after bathtime, it was time for Julia to go to bed. I felt like I barely got any time with her, and the time I did get, I was always rushed or trying to do 5 other times at the same time. Now everything is just so much more relaxed. I can sit and just play with Julia for hours! We walk to the library, we walk to the park, we play with Play-Doh, and we make cupcakes!

The only problem I see is that I don't know where all my time is going! I thought now that I am home all day, I would have all this time to do projects that I never get a chance to do. Boy, was I wrong! I know I am busy all day, but at the end of the day, it seems nothing got accomplished! I guess I just need to realize all the quality time I spend with Julia accounts for a lot!

I do know it is going to be REALLY rough for me to go back to work once I do finally find a job...
