One Year

March 5th, 2011, was my first day as a stay at home mom.  The husband was about to leave for OCS, and so we decided it would be easier for me to quit my job and stay home instead of finding day care for 3 months.  I would have to say this has been the hardest job I have ever had.  Dealing with a toddler has taught me to dig deep to find patience I wasn't sure existed.  There are days I want to scream and go running from the house.  Luckily, the good days outweigh the bad.  I am trying to become more creative with our days.  I think we both get pretty bored.  I still struggle with that part of staying home.  Some days I have no clue how to fill the hours, and that is when we end up butting head.  She may drive me crazy, but I am so glad I have this last year with her to watch her grow. I didn't realize how much I missed when I was at work all day.  Besides I can't stay mad at this face for too long.

She really needs a haircut!
