The life of a stay-at-home mom is not what you could call glamorous. Of course, neither was my job as an elementary school teacher. And it's not that I don't love being at home with my kids (or didn't love my students) but sometimes I think, where did I go wrong?
I watch the Travel Channel a lot. It started when my oldest was a newborn and did not like it when I read during breastfeeding. So I started watching TV. And I discovered the show "Great Hotels". Samantha Brown gets to travel the country and stay in fabulous hotels. Now she has another show where she gets to travel Europe and stay in fabulous hotels. It's not even like my life of travelling, where staying at Holiday Inn is a big splurge. According to the credits (yes, I am obsessed enough to read the credits) she writes the shows as well. So she gets to travel for free and write. And I assume there's a salary on top of that (although I would do it for free, should any network honchos be reading). How did she get that job? Did I miss something at my college career fair? Because I'm sure I would've signed up for that seminar.
I wish I could be Samantha Brown. Just for a week. Or maybe two. I want to know what it's like to have a cool job, because I don't think I've ever had one. You can say a lot of wonderful things about mommying and teaching, but I don't think anyone would come up with "cool".
