Ok, RANT ALERT! Not complaining about my life, but suffering from the whole "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome. I am sure if I searched long enough there would be a post by Stay-At-Home Me crying out at the injustice of a working mother's life! "Boo hoo" I imagine myself saying, " If I could go out to work I could talk to grown ups, I could go to the toilet, ON MY OWN! Blah, blah, whine, whine!". Now, I am a working mother, and I DO get to talk to grown ups, really nice ones and not the catty Yummy Mummys who stalk the toddler groups. And yes I do get to go to the toilet ON MY OWN, AND I can have a drink ON MY OWN in a room where children have to knock before the enter! I work my butt off when I go to work and I get PAID and sometimes I get THANKED and I have a really sweet deal...BUT
my home is neglected, I don't have time between Beavers and Brownies and Street Dance and a home tutor (Caitlin's) and College work and Book Club (are you kidding? I don't have time for that!!) to do much of anything that is FUN, I spend most of my weekend cleaning up after Hurricane Get Out The Door We Are Late Again! And I find myself wishing for the different pace of the other side of the fence, and anytime I say this out loud I am rewarded by husband saying "I don't want you to got to work, I want you to stay home." *sigh*
I know I have a fantastic life, but I am so ready for half term 5 more days to go :)
