I am a SAHM

I think it is official.... I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom (SAHM).

I realize that I have "technically" been a SAHM for almost 2 years, since that is how long it has been since I lost my job. But now it is "official" since we decided that with the move and re-doing of some finances, I would just stay home with the kids until Julia goes to school and we would only have to pay for one in daycare. It is just really tough to find a job that pays enough to afford 2 kids in daycare.

Since making this decision, I have started babysitting. Right now I watch a good friend's two girls a couple days a week. I am thinking about seeing if I can find one other family looking for a sitter.

I love staying home with the kids. This is an experience/opportunity I will never get back years from now. The kids love having me home. Now they also get to have play buddies a couple days a week.

I read the title to quick, and I thought it read, "I am a SHAM" I was curious as to why you were a sham until I read a little further. Oops!
