As a stay-at-home mom, my Monday to Fridays are weekends and my weekends are a holidays because I have all my boys at home. My favourite quote as I raise up young men, “The days are long, but the years are short?”
My usual weekends involve cooking, cleaning, laundry, driving, encouraging, creating and loving up my boys to get ready to launch them ‘back into the world’ for another week. I feel profoundly grateful that I can be my three boys first teacher and that Sexy Neck supports me emotionally as well as financially. I feel completely content with my ‘job’ but sometimes I cringe at the Monday morning school drop-off where people ask about your weekend.
Tomorrow, I am going to be laughing my head off as I answer the question, “What did you do on the weekend?”.
I did surgery on a bear!
Thanks JC for taking the photo of me sewing on daddy bear’s head. Nana would be proud. We had daddy bear sitting by Nana’s sewing machine since the fall, but we brought him home. I sewed on my first teddy bear head. I can do anything.
New.
Risk taking.
Needle.
Thread.
One head at a time.
Grace.
Peace.
Joy.
Huge smile from JC.
Proud Mama.
Another great day.
Week.
Weekend.
Doing.
Being.
There’s not a lot that differentiates the weekend from my week, either: I’m a SAHM and freelance as a writer from home, so work, play and motherhood don’t have any borders or boundaries. Great work on the teddy bear head, though!
Catherine, thanks for resonating with me. It is always nice to hear from a fellow SAHM. I am going to checkout your blog.
