We went to a party last weekend and it’s been awhile since Matt and I met a lot of new people at once that asked what we do for a living. For Matt it was nice because he recently got a new job and he had something to talk about. I always, and it’s stupid, get embarrassed when asked that question. I think it’s because I haven’t been with my kids for a few hours so I forget what I do is a REAL job, and a hard one! So my answer was this, “What don’t I do? I’m an at home mom!” I have no idea why I ever let myself think what I do with my time is not legit. I make three healthy meals a day, teach and discipline my children, take them to fun places, love them when they get hurt, make them things and do crafts with them, keep the house clean and in order, wash laundry, keep the fridge stocked, and do things for Matt like make his lunch. Even if you didn’t care about my list of tasks that I just wrote, I think I needed to write it down to remember. Matt always says I make homemaking an art because I do it so well, and I like that idea. Homemaking is an art, and a real job! Don’t ever forget it Lauren!
