Who are you at the circus?
I bought my 2 year old daughter a circus toy on the weekend and as I looked at it I realize just how much like the circus the life of a SAHM is. In my eyes I am the juggler, constantly trying to keep many balls up in the air at one time, trying to not let a single one drop. Just when you think you've mastered it someone tosses another in the mix! I am the acrobat always seeking balance between the kids, cleaning, cooking and the oh so precious ME time. The clown trying to keep young kids entertained, performing in ways that you would never dream you could. Then finally the janitorial staff, the circus show has ended for the day and now it is time to clean up the mess left behind. Once that is done, you go to sleep only to start over the very next day. So my question is who are you in the circus? The kids are the audience and most definitely the ring masters of the day. They determine everything, without them there would be no circus!
