Like many other working Americans, some days I really hate my job. For me, however, my "9-5", "punching the time clock" consists of managing my household and keeping my three kids alive. Unlike most Americans though, my job doesn't start at 9 or end at 5, it's dealing with bitchy co-workers 24/7! And truth be told, some days I would rather be anywhere else, doing any other job.
My day revolves around keeping three (sometimes four if I include my husband, who is some days like a fourth child) other people happy, fed and entertained ALL DAY, by MYSELF!
And no matter what I do, any need I could possibly have during the day has to wait until all the girls are either eating, sleeping, changed or otherwise occupied. And without fail, every time, as soon as I sit down to eat lunch, pee or just cruise the inter web someone inevitably needs something right at that moment.
Yes I love my kids, No I would not trade them for anything in the world (or at least almost- anything!) but some days (most days) I have a thankless job with sucky pay and no time off!
And now my break is over, so back to work I go. Thankfully tomorrow is Friday (if only that had the same meaning for a Mom as it does for the rest of working America).
