Obviously I'm thankful for the usual family, friends, God, home, food and jobs but I was thinking today of something else that I am thankful for and that would be the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. Don't get me wrong I think working moms are great. I was one of those too for 5 years and I miss teaching terribly and will probably go back sooner than later. BUT, I've been a SAHM for 4.5 years now almost as long as I was a working mom and it's a pretty good gig. It does come with it's sacrafices but there's lots of benefits.
1. My kids are almost never sick. Not even colds!
2. I get to help at school. Which is seriously fun and helps me know what they are doing.
3. By far less stress!
4. I get to see all the cute and not so cute stuff Ella does during the day.
5. I get to cook and bake more and eat out less. Always a good thing.
I'll probably think of more.
PS I'm thankful I can go back to work if I wanted to. :)
