I’d Be Good At It I Think

I’d be a good SAHM. I really think I would. Granted, I am not the best housekeeper in the world, I’m not the most fabulous cook, and I am not talented. So I wouldn’t ever have an etsy shop or be able to sew P’s clothes. That’s just not me. I wish it was, but I’ve come to live with the fact.

But still, I think I’d be good at it. I would enjoy the challenge of keeping our house up and even attempting to organize the space to make the most use out of it (gasp!). I enjoy cooking but limit myself to the easy crock pot recipes out of necessity. And I even enjoy baking but rarely get the chance to do so.

Yesterday, Prayse and I baked Banana Muffins. Really! We did it together. She helped dump in everything and helped put the muffin liners in, even helped put the batter in. She does a great job standing back while I open the oven. Then we did the dishes. Well, I did the dishes while she sat on the counter and splashed her feet in the other side of the sink. Next time, I’m just gonna take off her pants and let her splash away in her diaper. We had an absolute blast!!

I would love to start a play group so Prayse would still have a lot of social interaction, we could use our membership to the Children’s Museum, we could do lots of fun stuff. I know it would have it’s challenging days, I know I’d sit here and write “I should go back to work!” Because the grass it not always greener on the other side 100% of the time.

This won’t happen, ever in the forseeable future. Finances keep it from being possible. We simply cannot live on R’s income. So I’ll keep going to work and enjoy it as I do. I am blessed with my job and the company I work for. I’m definitely not complaining.

Still, I would like to try it someday.
