All I can hear right now is the washing machine. No Netflix in the background, no "Mom, can you get me some....", no sounds of stuffy noses, just the washing machine. It's a little eerie.....and lonely. After 11 days of sick kids at home, I'm home alone. I hate it. Not that I want my kids to be sick, mind you, but I have never adjusted to being home alone during the day. I stay busy with various things, but I have to say, I really like having my kids around. Is that wrong? Does that make me crazy? Maybe a little. I know a lot of women love the free time to get things done. I do like having time to quilt and read, don't get me wrong. I know younger moms look forward to the day when there won't be little ones with unending demands. I was one of those younger moms. Now that I have that freedom, I have found it can be hard to fill productively. I chose to be a stay at home mom. But now that my kids are older, they only need me to "stay at home" when they are sick. Which isn't very often. Anyway, enough whining! That's why I'm going to finish my bachelors and go after a career! There's still a lot of me left and I have a lot to offer. My role as a mother is changing and like it or not, I am going to have to change, too.
