The Other Side of the Fence


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 :)
