Hello all!

Hope all is well. Happy (belated) birthday tlinus!

I can weigh in on working moms and non-working moms... I've done both and both are hard, in different ways.

When I stayed at home with kiddies (7 years), I was busy all day long. House was never clean and I couldn't catch up. But, was around for the kids (babies then!) and enjoyed being there.

Then I went to work full time. And all heck broke loose... no seriously, I don't get everything done. I buy cupcakes, I don't bake them. And now the kids help (sort of) cleaning the house.

I do however know of women who work AND get it all done. I view them with deep suspicion... And I don't think they sleep.. at all...

And as for me, now I'm unemployed, but still working full time hours, for no pay... talk about the worst of all worlds!! Craziness.

Best to all,
E

a quick drive by while i am working.......i'm taking off work the last week of september in order to get things together for my trip...


will be back on tonight.


eprv, so good to see you here today!
now i'm smiling...

mary, i worked with 3 littles at home before.
and i worked when they were older and teens.

i started a system and stayed with it.
only did certain things in the house on designated days.
planned meals in advance and did some pre cooking/prep on the weekends.

only cleaned the house on weekends or when off work.
did classroom teaching then went to subbing long term jobs.
that way i always knew my schedule.

now i only sub days and avoid the long term jobs.

i still plan my days in advance and dinners also.
never know what days i will be gone to work if i take late calls.

you can do it.
you'll get through these years.

it is the teen years that will kill you.......
they never remember anything until the day of. makes it difficult to keep a plan then.

hi to all the homies.
you missed a great card game last night.
i won every game....
