because I did nothing. Since most of the state was shut down due to ice and snow, I decided that I could give myself the day off, too. I got up, showered, and put my pjs back on. Sam stayed in his pjs all day as well. I fixed myself coffee, and Sam had breakfast. And I then proceeded to actually enjoy the day with my two (and 1/2) year-old. We snuggled, we sat by the fire, we colored, and later that night, I fixed hot chocolate. It was wonderful.
I know some of you are probably thinking--"doesn't she do that every day?" Unfortunately, the answer is no. As I'm sure many stay-at-home moms can attest, there's a certain amount of guilt (and a little resentment) when someone asks me what I do, and I say, "I'm a stay-at-home-mom." I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but let's face it--there are a lot of snap judgements made about women who don't "work." So most days I make sure that I am busy. And Sam keeps me busy. However, many times I catch myself running around so much that I don't really get to enjoy being at home with my child.
So Monday I did just that. And I think I should do it more often.

I agree with you on the stay at home mom thing. I always feel a little twinge of guilt when I say that I'm home with Jack and no longer working full time.
You should do it more often. This is your life too!
Bood job with your New Year's Resolution. I am ready to read your opinions on life!
