Stay at Home Mom

Because of this...


I have been a stay at home mom for a week. Literally. I have STAYED AT HOME. I've escaped a couple times to run, but it's about to drive me crazy. I can't go take a walk. I can't let the dog out for long. I couldn't even leave to get decent pictures. It's hard to take a picture to represent the massive amount of snow--there's just so much. Every picture I take is just white.

And I've enjoyed being home with Finley. (Especially because he's adjusted his sleeping schedule... he got up at 9:50 today! Hooray for sleeping in!) We're playing a lot and practicing walking, but I do not know how real stay at home moms do it. I'm about to go nuts. I haven't actually gotten dressed in real clothes in a week, and am eating like I am on vacation. I need some sort of plan to replace the current one: check my email and reader, feed myself, feed Finley, have a snack, play with Finley, eat Goldfish, nap... repeat. And repeat. Again.

I would love to be able stay home all the time, but we can't financially make that work at this point. Hopefully, when Finley gets a little sister we will be able to. But right now? Staying at home is driving me craaazy. However, I'm assuming its a quite a bit more tolerable when you don't actually have to stay at home.


I think I have taken a million pictures since last Thursday. Poor kid.

  1. I'm sorry I am sick and not much fun. Maybe tomorrow I will be fun and you can laugh at me again? I just don't want to get fish face sick.

  4. My schedule was feed breakfast,dress, watch sesame street, take shower if there was a nap going on, get ready for lunch, clean up lunch, Maybe, do laundry, nap (maybe) have afternoon playtime, watch sesame street and then dinner, feed, baths, stories, bed and fall into bed exhausted. Pretty much that was the day...not much time for intellectual stimulation....

  5. Hi Rachel! Thanks for letting me know you stopped by my blog! I love your blog, and that little boy of yours is just precious! But I must tell you, that I too am going a little stir crazy! I finally left my house today for the first time since Sunday, and it was so nice to just be out!!! :)

  6. Regular stay at home moms get to leave the house. Makes a difference :)

  7. Actually it's been cold here too, but with only a little snow. We haven't been able to run either. Tal has started doing squats with Jillian and me. Kinda funny to watch.

  8. Wow. Your snow days are legit. A little bit of sleet and schools in North Florida shut down. :)
