i am currently a SAHM of three beautiful children ages 15, 8 and 5 years. I've been married for eight years to my husband who works ridiculously hard (at being a PGA Pro in the golf industry) to provide a great life for me and our three children. He's tightly wound and I'm a loose cannon. he's a neat freak and i'm....well... let's just say...i'm not ;) it's the ol' ying and yang at work here :)
i worked for over 10 years "in the field" as a civil servant/social worker. i worked in a juvenile detention center for 7 years and then did a 3 year stint at children & youth investigating physical & sexual child abuse cases. i have been home for the last five years and i can't say i miss working outside of the home that much.
oh, i have my days where i yell out, "god i wish i was out at work and not here with these kids!!" mind you that doesn't happen much but when it does...ooooh lordy...pack yer bags boys, were goin' on a lil' guilt trip!!!! mommy guilt as i call it... is an evil, evil monster that rears it's ugly head and kicks me when I'm down. Damn that guilt.
