About
Saturday, December 1, 2007Hi there. My name is Debra, and I am a stay-at-home mom. Not to be confused with a stay-at-home mistress—those are the ones who get to eat bon-bons and watch soap operas all day long. Not so much soap opera watching going on when you have a three-year old son, a seven-week old baby, three dogs, and one ADHD husband. Oh yeah, and a fish, dubiously named Emily. I say dubiously because as with most Betta fish they sell in stores, Emily is actually a boy.
If you are one of those non-believers who thinks that stay-at-home moms have it easy, I beg you to come over to my house for a day. I predict that just taking care of our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, one of which is still a puppy, and our seriously defective geriatric Rottweiler, will have you screaming for the hills within no time. If I throw in the incessant question asking three-year old and the always hungry baby, I will probably be footing the bill for you at the looonie bin within an hour. Two hours tops.
Seriously, though—I have a great family. I really do. And just because I have a Masters degree in Physical Therapy doesn’t mean that I am intellectually stunted at home. I like answering questions about why Thomas the train doesn’t have a wee wee and do even dinosaurs go poo-poo. Really.
