If you're a stay-at-home mom, you've no doubt received "the look." Today, as you are doubting your abilities and your mission as a mom, even if you don't stay at home with your little ones, be reminded that what we have an incredibly important job that is far more important than how much we make every year, whether we get a promotion or recognition, or how many people like us or ask us out for coffee.
You may find this blog post I'm about to share too harsh or too strongly worded or not politically correct enough for your tastes. If that's the case, simply disregard and find something else that encourages you.
Hopefully, though, it will be a good reminder that we are doing something big. Something worthwhile. Something that matters. And some days, when it's raining outside, and the house is a mess, and the kids are all cranky, and you haven't had time to shower or brush your teeth because the baby got up an hour earlier than usual, or you're three weeks behind on schoolwork, you need that nudge in the right direction.
Here's your pat on the back, ladies. And for the gents reading, please give your wife/girlfriend/mother/sister/single-mom-next-door a few words of encouragement (and if appropriate, a hug too) for doing what is truly an impossible task met with great opposition.
And now, here it is....
The Matt Walsh Blog with "You're a stay-at-home mom? What do you DO all day?"
And just for your information, while I posted this blog, my very busy 1-year-old found the cassette tapes (yes, I know...) and mangled one or more. Great part is, she was sitting right next to me. It's just the way it is sometimes. If I could hashtag on here, I would say #tunnelvision.
Keep it real today. Life is messy. That's ok.
