It's Been Two Years

And in that time, I've turned down a possible opportunity to be a NYC Housewife and had a third baby, a girl named Jade. Amazing how your life can change in a matter of time. Three kids, who would have thought me??? Not me, of course! But here it is - two boys and a baby girl. They're lovely, fun and refreshing. I know these are the so-called cherish years and yet, I can easily become the crazed mom who needs a 911 to Supernanny.
It's amazing that until recently (3 weeks) I went to work everyday, all day and many a night, and now I'm a full-time mommy with two sitters and feel more disorganized than ever. Working was very stressful and challenging trying to juggle it all, but this - being at home - might be more difficult than I realized. I give it up to all stay-home moms and in awe of how they "do it" - stay organized, blog, tweet, have a life and run a household. There's no break. There's no desk, no room where I can shut the door and have my own personal printer. There's my blackberry with my battery that shorts quickly and is no longer opening attachments, and there is my laptop, albeit it's shared with my eight-year old who downloads video games aging my PC to the point of feeling like I have a dial-up connection.
When you're working you have an excuse to have your own life. It's your time that you can somewhat do what you want. You leave the house, and you're not expected to be back until your done. You get someone else to clean and watch your kids.
When you're home however, it's now all up to you. Sheesh, maybe working was the way to go. Mmmm... the grass is always greener.
