Stay at Home Mom

Well, it's band camp season. Eric is gone from 7:30 - 5:00 most every day. Some times he's gone til 9:00 and some days he'll have to be there at 7:00 so it kind of sucks. With him being gone all day every day, that leaves me being a stay at home mom. I have to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to it. This is the first summer that Kaleb has really been mobile and he's into the "learning twos" (that's the nicer name for "terrible twos") so I figured it would be really hard. In some ways it has been really hard but in other ways it's been fun. I'm glad I have a job and I don't think I have the energy to be a permanent stay at home mom, but it's been nice to spend a lot of time with him...especially since it's really the last summer that I'll be able to devote myself to him. More on that in a couple weeks. Anyway, yes it's hard when he wants to play outside and I won't let him because it a million degrees and yes it's hard when I need to do homework and he wants to run around hitting Lucy with a flyswatter, but it's worth it. I love that little guy.
