Today I am going to write about working moms. Most "blogger" moms are STAHM (stay-at-home-moms) so we dont really get the view point of a working mother.... Let me tell you a little bit about MY days, A day in the life of a working mother.
:)
I wake up at 6:00 every morning... Okay, thats a lie. I wake up after my alarm clock goes off for 20 minutes (give or take)... Begining at 5:45. (LAME!) I roll out of my big comfy king-sized bed well, its more like running on a trac & jumping hurdles since my darling children have decided they do NOT want to sleep in their own bed (even though thats where I put them when I fell asleep.. mind you, their bed is in my room). When I can finally feel my feet on the floor I get up & walk to bathroom to pee & brush my teeth. Then I sit in the bathroom & talk to J while he takes his morning shower/bath, all while wondering to myself "What are you doing dude? You gotta be out the door by 7! Its time to get your butt in gear!!!". Which is exactly what I do... I rush through the house trying my hardest to remember what I need to do to successfully leave the house on time... In 30 minutes or less.
ha! Never fails too, as soon as I hit the door all ready to go, I remember SOMETHING I have forgotten like,
"Oh crap! C-rad needs shoes, duh!"
"Did I grab the kids lunch?! They have to eat too, ya know!"
"Really? Did I seriously forget to grab the diapers?"
"OMG OMG OMG! I forgot the kid!!!" (dont worry- I hadnt even left yet) ;)
Lol. Dont judge me. Mornings are hard in the Burleson house!!! We are ALL cranky, irritable, tired people who do NOT want to be bothered in the mornings. This is why me & J get along so well :). We can fight & argue in the mornings but we both know, we are just some cranky @$$ people... Cant wait to grow old with him<3 ;)
Then work comes.... Its now 8am in the morning & I feel like I've already friggin ran a 50k mile! WTH?! Im only 22 years old, there is NO reason for me to be so tired all the time, right? Keep on reading...
As I sit at work I do all of the fun stuff like:
Write my blogs<3
Post on my Single Mommy Swag Facebook page (dont judge!)
& I have also now made a new Pro-Life Advocate page for myself!
So when Im not working, I have lots of cool things to do!
But that doesnt stop me from missing my child. Nope. Not at all.
In fact, if it wasnt for all of these social sites to keep my mind busy, I would probably sit here & be upset ALL day over not being with my kids!
Some people call me crazy because I WANT to be a STAHM but, what can I say? I absolutely ADORE my lil chitlins (shit-lins)... They drive me INSANE but, they are MINE!!!
Well, 6pm rolls around & my fingers are ALWAYS crossed that J is done for the day. (We both work at the same place, so Im here from 8am until he gets off work.) We drive home & finally... FIANLLY, the moment is here!!! I've been waiting ALL day long for this! After getting phone calls from C-rad telling me he peed in the potty (THANK GOD!!!!) & J-bug that she misses me SO much & can not WAIT until I am home... Well baby girl, I AM ON MY WAY!!! :)
& Im always SO trippin excited to pick them up, ask about their day, & hang out for a few minutes.... Then the night begins. Whoohew!
Its usually about 7-8pm when we are all finally home, together, enjoying our night as a family<3 But who can really enjoy their family time together when its already 8pm? Dinner gets cooked, baths get done, toys are played with, movies are watched, & the list goes on & on...
Now, in my house we do not go to bed until almost midnight. This includes my children. SOME people call me a TERRIBLE mother for this! Some people have told me "Your child is going to grow up HATING you for not giving them structure & a decent bed time"!!
Um, okay. So because I'd rather spend a few hours with MY kids, the ones I pushed out of MY vagina, instead of sending them STRAIGHT to bed at 9pm (which is an IMPOSSIBLE task since we dont get home till almost 8!!!)- they are going to HATE me? Lol. Cool. :) Thanks for the encouragement!!
By the time midnight rolls around we are all exhausted & pretty much just crash. Go to bed & wake up just to do it all over again tomorrow....
Thats the day In MY life as a working mother. Tuesday - Saturday.
Maybe I didnt point out "enough" things in this post to show how exhausting it can be to work AND be a mom but, I also have a VERY active father as my SO<3
If I get up to do dishes, he jumps up to vaccumm. We believe in co-parenting & EVERYTHING is 50/50. It works for US, very well.
My point in writing all of this is because since running the SMS (single mommy swag) page I have realized that its basically a WAR between STAHM & Working moms... Which is DUMB! What is the point in that?! We all have ONE thing in common; we are MOMS. Somehow, someway, God decided to make US mothers. He believed we were strong enough to do it.
So, stay at home moms- cut us a break... We work hard to provide for the things our kids need/want. Some of us work by choice & some of us work because its the only way to keep food in our kids mouth. SOME of us dont have a great support system & SOME of us have dead beat baby daddys. Sad.
Working Moms- Lay off on the Stay at home mothers, they work HARD. Just like we feel "our job is NEVER ending- we go to work & then come home to work" well, they never even leave the house to go to work... at least we get SOME kind of a break!
Till then- Bella
