I love sales so thats what I am doing.
I love my children so I am mommy-ing too.
I still have to find time for friends and family which I thoroughly enjoy.
This is a problem when one considers I require a minimum 8 hours sleep EVERY night to function in a non abusive way towards others.
This leaves 16 hours left in the day to do it all. 8 of which are WORKING so that leaves 8 to get kids ready in the morning and pick them up at night and care for them at night.....well unless you take out commuting that takes away another 1 at least 30 minutes in the am and 30 in the pm.... that leaves 7 but the kids go to bed at 8pm so really you have only a couple hours after work before bed to do IT ALL....Get up at 6am make coffee get kids fed and take them to school. Go to work at 8-9 am start the day....watch phone for any calls form various schools to be ready for emergencies and hope your boss has kids so he/she will have some understanding of such situations....work work work......go pick up kids....get home start homeowkr...make dinner.....bath them, clip nails, brush hair, brush teeth, floss...read to little ones...have sex go to sleep.
Notice there is NO time for reading or tv for the mom......oh and most days I forget to do one load of laundry so o Sundays I have 12 loads.
Being a stay at home mom was the best and I will forever be grateful to my awesome husband the only man who supported that for me. He is a super worker, super dad and super husband. NO woman can be a some what sane stay at home mother if her husband doesn't understand the sheer insanity of not getting paid, never having completed a job (cleaning, feeding kids, dishes and laundry are never completed therefor you never really feel like you have accomplished anything real) and never getting more than 5 minute intervals to yourself.
AM I a bit frazzled? Yes. AM I HAPPY? Yes.
more to come
