<!--%%text_21%%My day starts out like anyone else's.  My alarm goes off (ie. my kids wake up),\nand I roll over and groan.  "Go back to sleep!" I yell, naively thinking it might \nactually work this time.  Of course, it doesn't and I roll back over and get up.\nThe voice in my head says, "You were the one that chose to be a stay-at-home \nmommy, dear.  It could be worse.  You could have to wake up two\nhours earlier, take a nice hot shower, dress up in unstained clothing, and \nthen drive to an office where you'd have to spend 8 hours talking to \nintelligent people who find you smart and interesting."  WAIT A SECOND...\nThat doesn't sound worse - it sounds like a vacation!  But I decided long ago\nthat it would be better for my children to have a parent at home.\nSo, I get up, get dressed, and take my children into the living room.  I have\nto skip that nice hot shower as my kids can do a lot in that timeframe of no\nsupervision.  I get them each a bowl of cereal, bowl of oatmeal, chocolate- \ncovered gem donuts, or muffins for breakfast and then sit at the computer\nchecking my email.  \nThere is a Chicken Soup For The Soul Inspirational and a recipe from the \nsame people.  Five times out of ten the inspirational brightens my day a bit.\nForty-nine times out of fifty I delete the recipe, as I do not cook.  I lucked \nout and married a man who can cook, although he only has about a dozen\nrecipes, and will not deviate from these as he is a very picky eater.\nTime to spend time with the kids.  I turn to find that every toy they own has \nbeen strewn on the floor in the time it took me to read one email and delete\nanother.  So, it's time to clean up.  As I pick up toys, the clean path I leave is \nquickly re-filled by my 18-month-old son.  Feeling a bit defeated, I pull out\nsome hair and sit down in the middle of the floor.  My kids dog pile on top of\nme.  In spite of my stress I laugh and tickle them a bit.\nI hear a familiar ring of an AOL instant message.  It is my mother Iming me \nfrom work.  We share miseries and then decide we'd rather be ourselves than\nsome of those that we know, going through big changes and are even\nmore stressed than we are.  I share a joke with her that I got in my email the \nother day, and she feels better and goes back to work.\nI hear another familiar ring of an AOL instant message.  It is a good friend of\nmine, one of the people my mother and I do not want to be.  She has the \nworst luck of anyone I know.  She is having another bad day.  I do my best to\nlisten and try to make her feel a bit more positive about her life.  She signs \noff and I turn to get back to my daily grind.\nOh my, the living room is even worse than it was before!  Is that even\npossible?  I mean, they had every toy they owned on the floor before.  But \nnow they are mixed with the cereal, oatmeal, donuts, or muffins that the\nkids were given for breakfast.  And oh, what's this?  The dog has peed and \npooped on the floor by the door again - oh, lovely!\nI clean up the dog's little gift  when I hear a splashing sound.  Seems my \ndaughter was thirsty and decided to leave the water bottle out where my son\ncould get it.  I am looking at an 18 month old boy, standing in a puddle,\nholding an overturned plastic water bottle.  Sigh.\nI drop a towel on the puddle, and out of frustration and feeling totally in over\nmy head, I go back to the computer and type in the URL that holds some \npeace of mind - www.dotcomguy.com .  I open the video feed and the chat\nroom and close out the main URL page.  Now I sit back and chat with people\nwho make me feel a little less stressed, a bit more intelligent, somewhat \ninteresting, and not so much like a frazzled mommy.  Over time the "DCG \nWonder Trio" wander in and the room gets a bit more chaotic, which tells\nme it's time to get back to my housework.\nI wander off into the kitchen, make lunch and start to clean up a bit, when I get distracted \nby the mess in the dining room.  I clean up that mess, and then think about\nlaundry.  A bit of sorting, and a load in the wash, and it's time to tackle the\nliving room again.  With a little (very little) help from my daughter, I get the\nliving room back in order and head back to the computer.  \nOne more IM session with my mother as her day is nearing an end, and a \nquick look at the DCG video feed to see what's up there, maybe a message \nor two with some AIM or ICQ buddies, and it's time to sit back and watch a\nlittle TV with my kids before my husband comes home.\n"Hi honey, how was your day?"  Me - "fine"  "What did you do all day?"..........\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n%%-->
