I’m a pretty social person (read: loud and in everyone’s business) and this presents a unique problem now that I’m staying at home. There’s no drama or gossip. There aren’t any cliques, there isn’t any backstabbing. No rumors or lies. When I was at The Workplace, I despised these things (well, all except the gossip […]

I’ve been a sahm/wahm for four months now, and you know what? This job is the hardest one I’ve ever had.
Notice how I didn’t tack on the typical “and the most rewarding” business there on the end of that statement? I’m sure I’ll feel that way one day, but it’s not today. In order for […]

Ok, I don’t know shit about Zen, but I’ve got the working part down pat.
I don’t know if this plan would work for all types of wahm jobs, but it works well for my situation. I need to be available to work some during normal business hours, but there’s a lot I can do after […]

I’ve been home nearly a month, now. I figure it’s time for a progress report.
Surprisingly, staying at home is a lot like being at work. There are days that I accomplish much and Maddie is happy and well-rested. On these days, I want to pump my fist in the air and shout, “Hell yeah! I […]

Maddie has a bit of a bug and there has been vomiting on a grand scale. I have changed and washed her crib sheets and blankies approximately 1586970503453459 times since Friday.
I’m thinking this is the universe’s way of hazing me upon my initiation into the sahm clique. Next, I’m going to have beer bong in […]

First off, thank you all for your advice on the bedtime issue and your well wishes. I’m going to let Maddie stay up as late as she’ll go and try to get us to 7:30. I’m also going to move her naps back to help her not get tired so early.
Now, for the really big […]

MY LAST DAY AT WORK!!!
Filed under: sahm, Workplace, daily on August 14th, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Now that I’ll be an official sahm, my first order of business will be to move the baby’s bedtime back a couple of hours. Maddie’s current bedtime is 6:00pm. Now, before you get your undies in a bunch because that sounds REALLY EARLY and we must be THE WORST PARENTS EVER, let me tell you […]

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet this week. I’d like to tell you that it’s because I’ve been really busy with some important tasks, but that’s just not the case.
Basically, I’ve been lazy. I’ve had a few books that I’ve really wanted to read, so posting wasn’t a high priority. Also? I didn’t have anything […]

Today wasn’t such a good day. Things at the Workplace are dire and draining. But you know what? When I get home, I instantly feel better. There is a chubby, bubbly little boo bear waiting for me. She squeals with delight as soon as she sees me and holds her little arms up for me. […]
