I used to feel so lonely when I'd stay at home and never venture out but whenever I did, I'd resolve not to leave the house again for a long time because it was so stressful. Now I don't even mind at all. Of course, we moved from a dark (few windows) apartment to a mobile home that is usually very bright. That makes a huge difference too!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523963661848837661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-49516444631915688332012-01-19T13:33:46.735-08:002012-01-19T13:33:46.735-08:00Nicole, it really is so much easier when we can al...Nicole, it really is so much easier when we can all just stay home, isn't it?!<br /><br />Nancy,<br />Last summer I would just have to sit in front of the air conditioner and chug a bottle of water once I got everyone out to the van!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088048901315207334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-64526952918975297922012-01-19T08:36:47.478-08:002012-01-19T08:36:47.478-08:00Well said!

On days when we have to go out, I have to watch my attitude, because my stress influences them. I think I could be completely happy with only leaving the house for errands 1 day per week (weekends and playing outside not included). We shall see! And you're right- if getting out the door was an Olympic sport, I would be in the running for a medal. When I was pregnant last, sometimes I had to change my shirt (in the warmer months) after the whole ordeal! I can't wait for the day when they can get themselves ready independently, and yet I love life right now and don't want them to grow up. I've enjoyed your series- thanks!<br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-66694661865777721902012-01-19T07:38:35.372-08:002012-01-19T07:38:35.372-08:00Totally agree.

I am most peaceful when I know that I have everything I need...food, cleaning supplies, etc so that I can just be at home doing 'my thing'. I know you've commented on my blog about my 'feeling lazy' because I don't commit.....but I think the uncommitted, laid back life that we've chosen is the best for young children and Mama's sanity :) I can't feel bad when I'm making the very sought after 'simple life' a reality.....Nicole ~ "I'm staying home with my mom!"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02299756917560292900noreply@blogger.com
