This past week my "heart baby" son has had a CT scan to rule out infection in the brain, an "echo" on his heart to rule out clotting around his heart repair from surgery last year, and suffered his first diagnosed migraine. At the same time my daughter's asthma was out of control due to pollen near the PE area, and trying to resolve Social Security issues for my elderly father. Few of these things involved staying home. Thank God for my healthy middle-school-ee.
My mom was actually a SAHM. She had no call waiting, no microwave until I was 12, no cell phone until I had children, and there was NEVER a question of "what are we eating after church?" because it had been put in the crock pot at 5 am! Those were the days.
I sit back and MARVEL at those who have their homes tidy, laundry caught up, and children to various activities with calm faces.
I do not pretend to be one of these brave souls, as I believe anytime you can sit instead of stand is fantastic, any activity that involves sitting and waiting for them to finish while you read a magazine should be a national law, and school buses are the work of a genius!
This has been a briefing from a present-day, not so stay-at-home mom.
