Sam and I are now at home together during what was previously my work day and his school day. It has been an adjustment for both of us. I think he misses going to school. Josh thinks that I feel guilty and am just projecting these feelings on to Sam. That is the strange thing I never really understood about projection. Ultimately, what difference does it make whether I am projecting my feelings on to him or he is the person originating the feelings? The end result always seems to be the same.I am in the perhaps unusual position of neither having the aptitude nor the interest for being a sahm. I like to work. I am just not that successful at the whole business thing. You know. Money. So here I am with baby Sam, in a position he most likely did not covet. I can only hope that we both find undiscovered joy and depths in the process of building this new boat together. Regardless, we will be sure to buckle our seat belts. The captain is new at this and the passenger is teething. There is bound to be turbulence. Bonnie Berry is an Austin, Texas child and family photographer.
