Anyway, Bad Mothering? I was arranging some fake flowers into two hanging baskets and Caroline was watching. She started getting bored so I let her play with a set of the flowers. So...I didn't know that the dye from the flowers would come off all over her face and clothes, with the potential to cause some kind of skin reaction. Luckily, I got her cleaned up so fast, I didn't even have time for a picture. That's too bad-she was really cute with her first real mess.
Oh, the joys of motherhood...and the not so joyful days of stay-at-home motherhood. Don't get me wrong, I do love it most of the time, but we have our ups and downs. The downs primarily being me going crazy at the house all day watching the second hand tick away on the clock. I would continue my painting hobby or make some cards or something, but Caroline (bless her napping little heart) wants to be played with 59 of 60 seconds of every minute! I look forward to Chris coming home all day. The first couple of months I thought, It's time to nurse AGAIN! Now I think, When do we get to nurse again? I'm just one of those people who needs a job. But I desperately want to witness everything she does this fall. I got a sick feeling in my belly thinking about leaving her with a sitter (although we have a great one, I think). My heart aches thinking about it. So, yes, I do go crazy during the day, but here's what makes it ALL worth it:

Hi, Denise. I read your blog all of the time. On the boredom of Stay-At-Home Mommieness - just wait! Wait until Caroline is running around. You won't be bored. Anyway, thought I would finally comment.
Caroline is such a little cutie! Thanks for coming to visit me last week. Only 5 more days left in this state. I wanted to let you know that the person who wanted the green desk has changed their mind, so if you're still interested, it's yours.
You can always come back and work part-time!!!!!:) Then I could babysit Milton
Man, we have the cutest daughter in the world...
