I think pajamas might be the single biggest hindrance to stay at home mamas struggling to see their own accomplishments.
Example: Today I have changed two diapers, wiped one child’s bottom after a trip to the potty, fed two children breakfast, brushed two children’s teeth, washed a load of laundry, done the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, checked on our tax refund, paid and mailed several bills, finished my Bible study for this week, called to get information on an upcoming dental procedure for Corbin, called to get a second opinion about the upcoming dental procedure for Corbin, secured child care for Bennett while I take Corbin to the aforementioned dental procedure, and arranged a play date for both children for later this week. And all of this was done before 9:30am.
But just a moment ago as I was mediating some small dispute between the boys, I was thinking to myself, “Man, I really need to get off my butt and accomplish something today….!?”
Maybe my failure to see the value in what I’m doing can be attributed to the fact that my job can be done at home and in my pajamas. But seriously, I have done more in my jammies this morning than I usually did in a whole day while I was working in a office and dressing in business casual attire.
So what is the answer? Well obviously we stay at home mamas just need to start wearing business suites and pumps around the house
