After reading this article, it made me think of what my friends without kids think I do all day as a stay-at-home mom. I most certainly am not turning into this, I promise:
I am a super hard worker. I strive to stay fit and take good care of myself. If I don't take good care of myself, I would have a harder time being a good wife, mother, sister, and friend.
Hopefully none of my friends think that I don't have time for them. I try my best to keep up with my friends and what's going on in their lives. Thank goodness for blogging and Facebook for making keeping in touch a whole lot easier. It's hard for moms of young kids to talk on the phone for hours on end and it's nice to be able to send friends a quick email or note to let them know that we are thinking about them. Don't get me wrong, I love phone calls from friends, I just don't usually have the energy or patience to listen to somebody yaking on the phone while my kids are screaming and pulling on my pantlegs for my attention.
F.Y.I. The best time to call me is about 7:30pm, when my wonderful husband, Sam is putting the boys to bed.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. I feel much better now.

HMMMM, that makes me wonder too what others without kids think. I know your not a do nothing mom. You are always doing things with your boys. Being a mother definitely has it's challenges but also fantastic rewards!! I don't like to talk either when the kids are crying etc when on the phone. I find I get really irritated. Keep up the great work you are a good mom!!! Thanks for always writing such nice posts.
