You know, I truly believe that being a stay at home mom is a lot more work than actually being out in the workforce. Most definitely being a Single stay at home mom is.
I'm always thinking that, but last night or rather this morning at 4 am. As I was yet again, changing Jaelon's bedding. I was really wishing there was someone else to do it, HA HA! Very rarely do I think about the "single" aspect of my being a parent, until the middle of the night waking because my little boy won't leave his diaper on. I shouldn't really complain, he usually doesn't wake up unhappy. The nights that he does, he's over it just as quickly. I guess it would be nice if one time, just one time, I didn't have to be the one to wake up and deal with it. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to wake up an hour or so before he does so I could have some time to myself. Sometimes I wish I didn't feel guilty for putting him to bed early because I'M tired.
Inspite of all that, there is that one little moment, where he's learned a new word, tried to do something for himself, or wants to give a kiss and a cuddle, that make those other things all worth it. That's when I remember why I choose to be a SAHM, I'm glad I get to actually be the first one to see my boy through all his milestones. Everything else is just minor!!
