Finally Made It

I was grocery shopping this past week and had only one of the girls with me. I was just finishing up when I ran into another mom that I know pretty well. She is like a sister to me. We can tell each other guy-type, clean jokes without offending each other. She also cuts our families hair.

She was just starting her shopping and with me just about done, she was going over the contents of my cart. After we talked about what I would use this for or that for, we talked about other stay at home parent stuff like kids, school, mini vans and driving around SE Wisconsin like a lost cabbie.

She is a seasoned stay at home parent so I appreciate what wisdom she shares with me. I was telling her that my oldest daughter did get accepted to a private school for kindergarten and that my youngest will be going to preschool two days a week in another city. She looked at me underneath her hairstylist hairdo and said the words that I longed to her from another stay at home mom.

"Sounds like you are now a real stay at home dad."

I finally made it.
