This staying at home thing is a little harder than I ever expected. I thought of how much I could get done & how I could do this & that whenever I wanted. Well not so much, my house is in more of a mess than I have ever kept it in, there is no true schedule & the world that I live in revolves around Jase.
Don't get me wrong, being here with him has changed me & him in so many ways. I just thought it would be so easy to get things done. What I have noticed is a huge change is Jase, he is more alert, he repeats a lot of what I do & say. He just seems to be progressing so much more, it could just be that I am at home more so I get to see it more, but I like to make myself feel as if I am helping.
I have tried to set out times to do "learning" so to speak, I have been trying the ABC's as well as words that relate to the certain letter of the day. I did this first week but Jase just didn't seem interested, so I guess I kinds gave up. I see pins on Pintrest all the time & try to read them & take them into consideration, I think I just need to stick to it just like I have tried to make myself stuck to this blog.
That's all I have for now, hopefully I shall be back with more...

Hey Patricia. I hope that I can be some assistance or at least a little. I understand where you are coming from. I stayed at home for 3 months with my son when he was 2 years old and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I really look up to those moms that can do it! I ended up going back to work and getting a sitter which I never thought I would do. I always thought my dream was to be a stay at home mom. Well it defiantly isn't for me. That is tough and it made me feel so alone. It always felt as if there were a million hours in a day and not one of those hours were of help to get anything done. Working 8 hours a day I get WAY more done then I ever did then. I am not trying to give advice I am just telling you of my story. Maybe keep a smile on and keep trying. Maybe you could try to make a schedule for you and Jase? Like wake up make breakfast, go for a walk, run errands, nap time (you time), make dinner, and so forth. Just so that you have a schedule to get things done? I am here for ya if you ever need to talk. I look up to you and I can tell you are a wonderful mother.
