The life of the stay at home Mommy to be

Yesterday, Mike asked me if I liked being an at home Mommy to be or if I was bored and lonely. His question came in a caring, concerned voice. That day I hadn't felt bored but lonley wouldn't descirbe it either just sad. Probably hormones I decided and I responded that I indeed loved it and would love it all the more when there was a little one running around to keep me busy. We worked hard for the day that I could stay home and take care of our children and almost 5 years later our dream and goal has come true and I don't take that blessing for granted. Right now I am simply spoiled. I have truly wonderful friends who stay at home right now and I can always call or visit one of them. I also have the opportunity to get things done around my house that have been neglected or overlooked for so long. The major bonus right now is that I if I feel sick or tired I don't have to call anyone or worry that I am not pulling my weight as a team member I can just relax and know that there is always tomorrow to get this or that done.

There was a time in my life that I hated my life. I wondered if God would ever stop picking me for all the bad stuff but I can honestly say now that if I had to go through all that stuff again to have the beautiful life I have now with the wonderful person I share it with I would do it all again. That is God's grace in my life and I will never stop thanking him for that. My life will never be void of trouble and it is scary to think what the future might hold but I know that it will always be full of people I love and that love me and I'll let God worry about the rest.
