I think of my day as a list of little things. Clean the bathroom. Make supper. Do laundry. Bake cookies. Although, I feel as if I've accomplished the biggest task if I can just get outside. The life of a stay-at-home-mom is a tricky one. You're not getting a paycheck, or benefits, or even vacation time. And you're the one who is determining whether you're doing a good job or not. The baby will love you regardless--he doesn't realize that lunch was a major flop or we were actually supposed to go to the zoo and didn't. So, I've been cultivating a system of "good job mom" tasks. Making supper from scratch, getting William outside at least for a short walk every day, exploring something new at least once a week. It sounds silly, really. But, if I do any of those things within the course of the week/day, I feel like I'm on track. Of course changing my underwear and actually kissing my husband hello is also on that list... but, well, you know!
