I'm Christine... in my late twenties, stay at home mama to 4 and wife to my husband for 6 1/2 year. I do work from home a bit, and spend most of my days trying to balance the wants, needs, and desires of my family. Something always falls to the wayside, but I suppose that is just part of being human, especially part of being a mom. By the end of the day, I always feel that I haven't done enough in one aspect of my life, whether its the dishes in the sink, yelling too much at my kids, not thanking my husband enough, or not getting out of my pjs all day. I do my best, and at the end of the day, that is all anyone can ask of me.
I am so blessed to have the family I have. I could not have dreamed this life up in a million years if I had tried. If someone had asked me 10 years ago where I'd be 10 years later, I would never never said I'd be a stay at home mama. Heck, 10 years ago, if you told me the guy I was dating would be my husband and we'd have a bunch of kids, I'd laugh at you. But it's all worked out... amazingly enough. Our family is so complete and we are the happiest we've been in a long time. I have no doubt in my mind that I am meant to be a mother.... its my job, one that I absolutely adore (most days). I know that in this day in age it isn't often that a family can survive on one income, especially a large family. I should really thank my husband more often for working so incredibly hard so I can stay home. He puts his life on the line each and every day and he works overtime as often as he can so we can live comfortably. I am one lucky lady to have him!!
