[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to share some of your vents and praises?

We had our third this winter and I decided to stay home.  A few silly things that I hate are 1.) My house is trashed all the time because my kids play in it all day long.  When we all got up, went to work/daycare/school the house had no occupants for 9 hours and stayed pristine.  Even the play/hw, dinner, shower, books, bed 3 hour routine didn't damage the house beyond what a quick 9pm will tidy up. Now its just I clean up one room while they trash 2 and this ratio goes on all day long.  2.) Grocery shopping with all 3. I use to break up my shopping into my lunch breaks and rarely had to do a big shopping with all my kids.  I just spent 300 at Giant with 2/3 and it was enough to make me want wine with my lean cuisine lunch.   3.) Husband thinks I have so much more time than I use to.  He literally asked me if we should start ironing his shirts here.  We means me BTW.  A few things I love. 1.) Wearing comfy clothes. My work was really formal and normally this time of my leave I would be piecing together what fits and ordering Spanx and all that. Trying to look current and also not spend an arm and a leg. Also like my drastically reduced dry cleaning bill. Im glad to take a break for that.  2.) I eat a lot healthier.  I don't have client lunches or late night dinners.  I drink less because there is no "end" of my workday so I don't feel like there's a "happy hour" so to speak.  3.) I like hearing my kids play.  Their games, their imagination, their ideas.

I'm not a SAHM, but item #1 did occur to me on Sunday night while I was picking up all the toys strewn all over the house from the weekend.  I don't even bother trying to tidy up during the weekend, since I know the house will be trashed five minutes later.[/quote]
