Now I know as a Stay At Home Mom, your job is 7 days a week 24/7. I on the other hand am probably not your traditional stay at home mom! As you read that last sentence you are probably wondering what I do differently from most moms and that is I take a day off!!!
No, I cant take a day off from being a mom! But I do take a day off from doing house work (washing dishes, cooking, etc.)! I take a day and I don’t look back! Usually my day off is closer to the weekend, like Friday! I usually wash any dishes and do a quick pick up around the house (make sure everything is presentable in case we have any visitors) in the morning, and I dont wash for the rest of the day!
You are probably wondering if my house looks a mess by the night time but usually it doesn’t because we are on the go Fridays! I usually order some kind of carry-out or we have left overs on Friday nights for dinner. This is my day that I dont stress over ANYTHING!!!! Now I still have my munchkin tagging along with me but we just chill out and “kick it” most of the day!
I’m sorry I feel like I just need a break from the routines and schedules. I try not to schedule any appointments on Fridays unless its absolutely necessary! I like to have my Fridays and Saturdays to myself/family. Honestly, I think this is the only way I will stay sane! I feel like I always have so much on my mind with Emma in general, Emma’s Appointments, housework, being a wife…if I dont take some time to turn it off mentally I will go crazy! So Friday is my day OFF!!!
As a SAHM, do you give yourself a day off?
