Official SAHM

I'm now officially a stay at home mom. It just felt like summer break but school has now started and I'm still home. The transition was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. The first day I thought of my students a lot and was a little emotional. I love staying home with Jackson and can't imagine having to leave him every day. I can't imagine leaving him for one day! But I do miss my students and friends from work. Staying home is harder than I thought it would be. I didn't think it would be easy but it is very isolating. I could stay in my house all week and never step outside. I don't do this due to the deep depression that would take me over but the thought that I could remains. I take walks with the babies and try and set up play dates-it's a little tricky since all my friends work. I've been trying to get up with Rod every morning and exercise and that really helps also. I even set up a calendar with all my chores and would like to get more of a schedule as soon as the babies will allow it. At work my schedule was a must. Every 5 minutes I knew what needed to be done, who was supposed to be where, when I could eat, or even go to the bathroom. Now it seems so open, it's a little scary. Wish me luck!!
