Always a survivor and bound and determined to be strong, self sufficient, etc. For once I no longer have to prove myself to me or others. It's such a peaceful feeling.

My husband and I now are self employeed, but he surely does most of the "bread winning" sorta speak. I take care of some things with the business but our home and the care of it is mainly my deal.

It is so nice being "under his wing" as one might say and I never take it for granted. God forbid something happens I know I can head back out into that work force and do it again.

When I was a stay at home Mom I did have self esteem issues, etc feeling as though I wasn't measuring up as much as the rest of the world. I wish I could have realized way back then that being a stay at home Mom is one of the most important jobs a woman could ever do IMO. It truly pays off in so many other ways rather than with cash.

If you have the opportunity to be a stay at home Mom please remember your worth, your importance, your ambitions that someday will be the most rewarding "job" you have ever accomplished.

GREAT post Sheryl!
