What Will I be When I Grow Up??

Now that I am 100% SAHM and no longer have work priority's I have taken to the task of explaining to my kids what I do now. I have explained that I will now be staying at home with the two youngest (two and one) and will be home for when the oldest (five) gets home. They now understand that I no longer have "work" to do. Coincidentally, during this time my five year old is having to think of what he wants to be when he grows up. So far he has Astronaut, Master Builder (from the Leggo movie), or a Video Game Designer. These are all fantastic things to be and as a mom I am super proud that these are some of my five year olds desires. Definitely a step up from wanting to work at McDonald's, which was his desire about a year ago. 

So, now I am SAHM, and my son has compiled an outstanding list of what he wants to be when he grows up. Everyday I reinforce what he needs to focus on to be able to do any of those things. Focus on math and science and read, read, read, because reading will make you smarter. 

Do you know what his question to me is now? Since I am not working, what do I want to be when I grow up? Ummmm..... I explain again how I will be staying at home to be there for them and take care of things. "Well, yeah, but you HAVE to DO SOMETHING?!?!" He says. 

Well, geeze. I guess as a SAHM I am not seen as doing very much, or very accomplished, and I am only on week in of being 100% SAHM!! I personally felt I was being very productive. The house is in tip top shape, we are eating home cooked healthy meals, we have done an outing almost everyday to include a trip to the Alamo because my son was learning about it in school, I workout everyday, all errands have been run, the yard looks fantastic, the car looks fantastic, the kids are highly taken care of, the kids and I started an herb garden and a flower garden and my husband has had the freedom to travel for work for the last two weeks. This is just what i came up with off the top of my head. But, to my five year old, I have to DO something! This has really made me think, not only about how to get the kids to see the part I play in this family and what I contribute, but also, what am I going to be when I grow up? 

SAHP (stay at home parents) Have you found it difficult for your kids to see the contributions you make, or your accomplishments? What do you want to be when you grow up (or when the kids grow up)?
