  • I was just out updating our sailing board and didn't want to come in...If only I had a few more projects for outside!

  • I feel so blessed that I'm able to SAH and enjoy this beautiful day.... I just finished gardening/planting all our flowers/watering them... when C wakes up we're meeting one of DH's coworkers wife and DD for a walk in the park and lunch/playdate at our house afterwards :-) 

    That being said, rainy days being stuck inside suck!

    You don't think it's a little condescending to come into a post where someone feels like they're missing out on time with their child because they're at work and then you basically brag about being a SAHM? And I know I'm not alone in feeling like this.

    I went outside to bring a form to another building and I really wanted to sit on one of the benches in the courtyard for a while. Unfortunately my bosses office faces the courtyard. Doh.

    lol, my boss came out as I was re-writing the board and I told him that I thought I would re-write it a few more times just for good measure :)

    Definitely get out and enjoy it after work. The weather here is gross today and is supposed to be tomorrow. They did cancel the tornado watch, though, so hopefully the storms won't be as severe.

    Sometimes I go out for a 15 minute walk to "clear my head" when it's nice.

  • Ditto Amanda. Not all of us have that luxury... And some of us work from home in the summer and still feel like crap about it because we can't spend our whole day making our house look good and playing with our kids.

    There's a trail around a lake about 1 1/2 miles away from here, I used to go with my work bff every day it wasn't raining or freezing cold, anything over 45* was fair game.  Now that she's not here anymore, we try to meet 1 or 2x a week to walk and chat when it's nice out, her drive is a bit longer now, but if she eats in the car we can make it about 2 miles (2x around) over lunch. 

    Those days are always so nice, my head is so clear when I come back to work!

  • I agree with Amanda and Paige. It would be lovely to have the luxury to SAH but we just don't. The weather today sucks though so its doubtful we'll get out after our naps.

    Alicia I hope you get to enjoy what's left of the day after work.

    According to the stats, my area has been rainy 85-90% of the days in April and May. I don't even really remember what the sun looks like LOL, because even the non rainy days have been cloudy.

    I'll take some sun too, when you're done with it :) Please!

    Vacation
  • We've got rain today, so being inside isn't such a bad thing. Now, Monday, when it was beautiful out, that was a different story.

    This totally made me think you were institutionalized. Not like "institution" as in "university/college" and IR. hahahaha.

  • I went out to get lunch today and I was so tempted to just not go back inside the office.  It's been so long since we've had a nice sunny day - I wish I could just sit outside!

  • Okay- that was definitely not what I meant nor was it my intention!!  I was by NO means bragging... I know that I'm lucky to have the ability to SAH and I was by no means trying to make anyone feel bad about their situation.  I was merely commenting on the post by saying that I'm lucky to be able to enjoy the day, but that SAH is not always roses and sunshine... and not just in the meteorological sense. 

    Nevermind.  And you ladies wonder why I rarely post??  Because anytime I comment on anything, it's always misinterpreted and taken out of proportion.  Some of you girls know me better than others, and I know that those girls realize that my intentions are never what many of you make them seem to be.

  • You read my mind Alicia...I just posted something similar on FB.  Today was the first nice day in AGES.  I think it's even supposed to rain again tomorrow. Ugh.

    and in response to this- believe me... there are few days that I'm actually able to "make our house look good."  SAH is just as demanding (if not more) than a 9-5 job.  I did both (SAH and Working Mom).  I look back on when I was a WM and I don't know how I did it all... so I have MAJOR respect for those moms!!!!
