Finding Yourself
Recently I have been feeling very lonely. Drew has been working from 6 am to about 8 or 9 pm and we only have one car. I had been wondering what I could do to interact with others that are above the age of 2 and I figured all I really needed to do was get my thoughts out of my head so a blog it is! Like I said before I have been feeling very lonely as a stay at home mommy and it made me think of all the other stay at home mommies out there. The ones whose lives consist of loads of dishes and laundry each day while trying to keep the kids happy and yourself, in fact just yesterday I saw a post on facebook from one of my other stay at home mommy friends about that. How do you maintain yourself while trying to provide the best for your kiddos? That is something I haven't quite figured out yet. Maybe as I get my thoughts out in this blog I will finally figure that out. Well the kids are arising...time to get up

As a husband to an amazing stay at home mother, I can tell you that we husbands have a tendency to get caught up in providing for our families. We get frustrated and fearful in our careers and it's very easy to forget or even learn about the challenges our wives are dealing with. I know that I have fallen into the "I know it's not easy being a stay at home mom, but I'm working for the money and it's way harder" mentality. It's easy to forget that we are partners and simply play different roles in the success of our respective families. This was a really good post. I'm glad you shared it. Hopefully some dads/husbands will read it too and remember that our wives need to talk to us as adults and feel like more than just diaper changers, lunch makers, house picker-uppers etc.
