What does a Stay home Mom do?
I have a very busy husband. He is a resident physician who works at least 80 hours a week and another 20 at home doing paper/computer work for his job. Then he has his Daddy/Husband jobs. I admire his hard work and diligence. I am sure I only understand a fraction of what he goes through in a day....Reflecting on this got me wondering. What do I do in a day? I know I am busy too. How does it all compare? For my own information I decided to record all the tasks I performed in a typical day. Drumroll please...
