Seriously...you make the call

I've been making note of this strange phenomenon for the past year or so, but it took finally sitting down with a good straight shootin friend of mine this week to finally put the words on what is actually going on.  Stay home Mom's almost have too much time to think about stuff and therefore can't make a decision to save their lives.  Wow I know that's a harsh statement. I feel like I can say that though because I also stay home.  I feel like my decision making skills have definitely fallen to the wayside.  Now ask me if I think buying two boxes of cereal for the price of one is a good decision and I will jump all over that answer.  But ask me something that requires some thought and actual problem solving and whoa nelly you can almost hear those rusty wheels a cranking.

I have had a lot of fun working on different committees and groups at school this year, but almost everything that I have delegated out I have received a call about.  "Can we talk about this, so I can get more information?"  "Could you explain more what you are looking for?"  What I really want to tell these gals is that I'm looking for is someone just to do what I asked and not want to talk about it.  Make a decision.  Put down your latte and remember what it was like before the little people were calling all the shots.  I too feel like I get bossed around half the day.  Heck we have jokingly started calling the littlest one "The Boss".  And I say jokingly with a grimace.  We are running around picking up this, volunteering here, fluttering there and we have forgotten what it is like to just take care of business.  

I look at one of my best friends who is a full (to the fullest) time worker, Mom of two, Girl Scout leader, etc,etc.  You are getting an idea of her awesomeness.  You ask her about something and she just takes care of it.  She 
doesn't need a lot of clarification or hand holding. She is business.  I love that.

So does this affect all Mommy's that stay home?  If you stay home part of the time are you only partially rendered inept at quick thinking?  I don't know maybe if I worked full time I could answer these questions.  Hee hee.  Oh well I guess when you get down to it Mom's are usually quick at making decision when their kids are involved.  Truthfully that's the most important thing anyway, I guess I can cut them a little slack on the other stuff.
