(ahhhh! he has JUST started putting sentences together and he uses one of those firsts to tell me that?! ::sigh:: it's going to seriously be a good day)
Today was my first full day at home with the boys as a stay at home mommy. I mean, I got home yesterday in the afternoon, and of course I have had plenty of days at home with them while I was working, but this is really the first day of my full time mommy job. I have no other office to return to at this present moment. Okay, so really I will probably say that this coming Monday is my REAL first day of work, because that will be the beginning of the first full week, but I'll leave the related post for that time.
Today was a good day.
We just had fun. Of course I plan to set aside time each day with some sort of 'curriculum' {I know it sounds so strict and unfun, but don't worry, I'm not THAT crazie...there are still plenty of fun times to be had} just to provide some order to our days. But today was not that day. Today was our day to fill up on 'mommy, come, play!'
I had an enlightening conversation on saturday with a seasoned stay at home mommy who reminded me to make sure I got out every day. Even if it was just to costco with no real shopping trip in mind. Just to get out and to make it an 'activity' with the boys. I really value that advice because I know me, and if I stay in too long, well then I turn into a rather unpleasant human being. I need to get out. And really, Colin is the same way...So I look forward to getting out. I just don't think we can afford shopping each time. Maybe just a few times a week :)
