What I Do For a "Living"

There are a lot of people in this world who don't agree what us stay-at-home moms do is actual "work". I hear it a lot, "oh, you don't work?" or "you don't have a job?". I would love to trade them places sometimes. I don't, however, get into any of the MOMMY WARS and fighting about it though. It isn't worth it. I have respect for what working mothers do just as much as I have respect for what stay-at-home mothers do. Each job is hard. I can assure you though, that staying at home and taking care of your children is a job of many different colors. What do I do? I'll tell you...

I am a NURSE

I am a Maid

I am a Teacher

I am an Artist

I am a Laundromat

I am a Baker

I am a Chef

I am a Coach

I am a Cheerleader

 

I am a Costume Designer

I am a Dog Groomer

I am a Driving Instructor

I am an Interior Decorator and Painter

I am a Photographer

I am an Architect 

I am a Pirate's Best Friend

A Cowboy's Mother

A Cowboys Wife

And I'm also Santa Claus

And the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Jolly Old St. Nicholas...

You name it. 

I teach LOVE, RESPECT, and PATIENCE.

And that's only what I would put on my Resume.

I teach my children how to have responsibilities, how to love one another, and how to love life. I am so much more than some people think I am. I have so many talents. I don't get paid money for what I do, but I get paid in enough love to last me the rest of my life. It won't run out after I "retire", the government can't tax it or take any of it away. It's like a savings bond that keeps growing as we grow.
