So, I've been feeling a little lost lately. It's amazing how much things change when you don't have a "real job." Before I got married, I thought staying home with children was a no-brainer, but when it was time to tell my principal that I wouldn't be returning to Madison Central, I got really choked up. I know I made the right decision--I don't even want to think about my sanity if I were trying to teach Honors English (a state-tested subject,) grade essays and term papers, and be a mother and wife. I know lots of people manage the juggling act and do it well, but I don't think that I would've been one of those super-moms. I'm pretty sure I would have been really scary. This year has been fabulous, and I am beyond lucky to have the opportunity to stay home with Sam while he's young, but sometimes it's hard.
I don't get to hang out with adults all that much, so when I do, I feel like that dog on the Beggin' Strips commercial. You know--this one:
Except I'm like that around people (adults.) It's true. "People!...People! People! People!" I told Anthony that last night, and he laughed at me. I don't think he knows how serious I am.
I'm glad the weather is finally warming up though. With summer just around the corner, Sam and I can get outdoors and actually be around other living human beings. I won't know what to do with myself.
So, if I see you out and about, and my eyes dilate or I get a little too close to you, take it as a compliment...I'm really glad to see you. *Sigh.*

Warning: Small pity party to follow...
Obligatory Sam shot. He'll always love me even if I become socially incompetent.

I hear ya sister. Thanks for being honest and on the 'for real' train. :) We have not lived here a year yet, and still trying to find friends and plamatest to replace our old ones in TX..it's hard I know--my husband is a football, baseball, and powerlifting coach (geez).
But it is a great job--and every time I think I want to go back to work I just look at my son--and say I'm glad I'm the one with him every day all day and not someone else.
Hang in there!

so great to see y'all tonight! and i agree with all you are saying!!! MOM is the best job and the hardest on the planet!
and i have to say, the banner is awesome - sam is a cutie
ha ha. You make me laugh. I am working part-time and still kind of feel that way. I thought I would get to hang out with all the other stay-at-home moms but we're all too busy! Who knew?!
I can comment on this. I've taken on way too much responsibility. (I'm famous for that) So I had to get rid of something. No, not Sophie. The blog. It's been deleted. I just can't keep up with it and people keep asking me to update it, so I had to let it go. I've got just a few more important things to do! We'll miss the blogging world! So long! P.S. how do people have 2 kids???
Allie- I know how you feel. Anytime we have a "grown up" event to attend I tend to get overly excited. It's hard being a stay at home Mommy and yet the best job in the whole world!

I can't stop watching the movie. I think my total count over the weekend was 5. Pics from the set of New Moon are starting to leak on the internet and it makes me SO HAPPY!!!
