I didn't even think about the transition to being a part time working mom. But I'm finding there is a little bit of a change. Things that I'm finding out...
(1) The SAHM world.
I feel like there is this whole secret world that stay at home moms know about. Sorta like a club. Tea and I went to a toddler class last Friday. Everyone sat in the circle and we sang songs - some with props, and read books. Tea and I loved it. There were so many mommas and toddlers there. They all knew each other. During the first song, we went around the room and sang one verse with each child's name. When it was Tea's turn, no one knew her so I sang "Teagan" by myself. The 2nd pass through people caught on though.
At the end of the class most of the mommas were gabbing with each other. I felt like an impostor. Teagan was very shy too. This is unusual for my outgoing little girl. I think she felt out of place as well. I made some small talk with a mom next too me. We plan on going to more classes. I know they'll know us by name soon and we'll be sharing stories. But for now I kind of feel like the new kid.
(2) Schedule
I have failed the last two Fridays with Teagan and napping. She was crabby both evenings. I do plan naptime in our day and she does sleep but I guess not long enough. I'm her mom. I should know her schedule, right? I feel like her daycare does a better job then me. I'm learning! I like to think Teagan is having so much fun with me that she doesn't want to sleep and it has nothing to do with my parenting skills...right?
(3) Spending Money
Its probably a good thing I only have 1 day off. We went to Target to buy shampoo and such but we came out with way more items. If I were a full time stay at home mom we would be broke. I might spend everything.
Who could pass up on such a cute fleece? Teagan chewed on the collar so I know she likes it.
