The First Week

While everyone started school last week I had my first week too being a full-time house mommy. Over the summer Trevin's work was very flexible and he came home for lunch every day so it was like we were both on summer break. Now he leaves in the morning and comes back in the evening and I am a full-time house mommy all day. My first day I was all excited and pumped about the first day of the rest of my life. The second day I made it through but the day ended with tears and a breakdown. The third day I realized this is life and I need to find ways to make the best of it. The fourth day I started to love it and can't believe I'm so lucky to get to do this all day every day. So yes I had a very rocky start to this house mommy business. At first I felt very lonely and somewhat useless that I just sat around all day but over the past week and a half things have started to get much better. Everyday I find something to do in the morning to get us out of the house, lately with the beautiful weather we've been going on runs. Tomorrow is the first day of a playgroup I started with some other moms I know. Even though the first week was rough Addie and I are having the best times, I love being a house mommy more than anything and I've even read a book. I know, weird, the first one I've read since I started college.


Our errand today, we bought some new bows for Addie's hair

  1. It can be hard, but you figured out everything I would have given you advice for! I also try to do useful things in my time alone with the baby - like crafts for family or friends or home, or cleaning up things. Lol, then again I'm still finishing unpacking.
