Joining The Ranks

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive September 2004: Joining The Ranks

of the SAHMs!!! Dh has been working nights for the last year and a half and I have been working 4 days a week for 6 hours while the oldest 2 dks are in school. DH just got a promotion and a raise that moves him to a day shift and I get to stay home with my youngest again! I have hated going to work. I just felt like I wasn't able to be the best mom, wife and self I could be when I was pulled in so many directions. DH is really happy for me too. He likes knowing that laundry won't back up until my day off or that I will be too tired to enjoy adult time! LOL The older dks are happy because I'll be able to volunteer in their classrooms more often. We are a very happy family this weekend!
