Top 10 Reasons Why I Should Not Be a Stay-At-Home Mom

Today's run: 4.5 miles
Donations raised to date: $2,100 - WOW. I am so grateful to everyone who has donated! Thank you!!

As I prepare to head back to work next week, I thought I'd document the Top 10 Reasons why it appears that our family made the right decision in keeping me in the office and Roger at home.

Reason #1: This cannot be sanitary.
Reason #2: This is definitely not sanitary. Ew.

Reason #3: So I can get caught up on Oprah. It's not bad if she likes vacuuming, right?
Reason #4: She is also great at getting the morning paper for me.
Reason #5: a) "Mom! I can get up in the high chair myself!" or b) My 2.5 yr. old still uses a high chair. (Take your pick!)







Reason #6: She still takes a bath in the baby tub because I am too lazy to clean out the regular bathtub every night.
Reason #7: I let her buddies keep her on a tight leash while I go find some cider.
Reason #8: I've convinced her babysitters to work for kisses. He looks thrilled about it, doesn't he?
Reason #9: I let her eat whatever this was.
Reason #10: We ran out of sticker books (or any type of paper apparently) so I convinced her it would be fun to try a new technique.
I think she's going to miss me when I'm back at work, don't you?
