So,…..this is my first post,……………….

April 9th, 2008 by punkyboy2006

Well, here I am, writing a first blog to the whole world of people who have nothing better to do than to be on the Net all the time LOL. My DS has just turned 19 months and he is learning and discovering new things that fascinates him the most (but I still have to keep an eye on him all the time as a human babyproofer). My DH is at work as usual, and to be honest, still, I miss him. At the moment, DS is sleeping and I am having a quiet time on the computer.

I have been thinking too much that I probably already burnt my brain from all that. I have not been working since January of 2006 and I still have mixed feelings of whether I should be working or be happy as a SAHM. I love being a SAHM, but I get criticized alot from naysayers like my sister, my SILs, and a few female aquaintances, who believed that I should get back into the “adult” world instead of getting “toddler-stressed”, and that they call me “lazy” because we are a one-income family, living in a rented fourplex suite, with two used vehicles (they run awesome!) ALREADY PAID FOR! Sure we used to own a nice home (800 sq ft, with a nice clean basement)in another town at a reasonable price and it was fully paid for, thanks to my inheritance from my late bachelor uncle’s estate. But there was a problem: there were very limited jobs as well as limited job choices in the town and my DH was a victim of “stereotyping and discrimination because of who he is and couldn’t be reliable enough because of his partying ways” and it sure hits us HARSHLY. So we sold the house and moved to the small city where we currently are, and it was for the better. The jobs that DH took, well, the people he worked with are very open-minded and treats him well. He worked hard as long as he held a job. For me, I was going to find a job myself, but the worst part is, the cost of childcare and the time schedule conflict (his hours were very odd and it is hard to fit the opposite hours, so what could I do?). But DH assured to me that he liked me being a SAHM because I was such a good mom to DS, as well as plan the meals he looked forward to when he gets home from work, as well as see that the housework is done so he doesn’t get stressed about it. For now, I am happy being a SAHM because I didn’t miss out on my DS’s accomplishments throughout his stages of life and never regretted it. We are trying for another one, but it will take time as I am going to be 31 in June and still have stress because of trying to get something done in the household.

So yeah, this is my first blog and that is what I consider myself a NORMAL, BORING WOMAN as usual. Stay tuned, life will get interesting,……………..
