Reality Check

I wanted to be a stay home mom for many reasons. I have made many campain promises and have broken most of them. The house is not spotless, I have not worked out, I have not done any crafts, I have not visited friends, Dinner has not been made.

I have spent more time with the kids - which is great, and I do make sure that I'm out of my housecoat and into some proper clothes and have make up on when everybody gets home from school and work. (Although, I do leave it to the last minute...jammies are so comfy)

I have NO money. Not a cent. I used it all up at Christmas. The little bit that I do earn from the odd job goes directly into our account and towards the bills.

I am getting bored. Luckily, Hubby doesn't read this. I'm not ready yet to admit to him that I might want to go out and get a job. Hmm. We'll see what happens.

I am looking after his daughter every night after school. Something that I would do for free anyway, but when I was gone, the she-ex had to pay a sitter $50/week. So in essence, He's paying her (child support) so that she can pay a sitter, but I do it for nothing, so that's extra cash in her pocket and nothing in mine. I know, I know, Life's not fair. Grrr.
