I love my job, but secretly (guess it's really not a secret any more) I wish I could be a stay at home mom. Financially, that is not possible for us right now.
I have two friends who are stay at home moms right now and I am a bit jealous. They get to spend so much extra time with their child(ren). I know that it is exhausting, but I think it is well worth it.
I sit here and think of all that I could be doing if I were at home. I could be running the dishwasher, doing laundry, have dinner all planned, vacuum the house, make the bed, etc. But I am in my office waiting for a student to finish a test so I can grade it. All of those things I wish I was doing will have to wait till I get home. Those chores cut into our family time. I like to have everything done before Ayron gets home so that when he is home, it is family time. If I were a stay at home mom, I could have all that done in the morning, do "mommy and me" story time at the library in the afternoon, and still have dinner on the table by 5:30.
I really wish I was at home cleaning right now.....the more I think about that the more I realize how sad a statement that really is.

Bethany is really wanting to find a job, but she knows that even though she's going nuts being at home all the time now, she'll miss it when its over.
Do you think you might be able to work part-time? That's an avenue we've explored, too.
