Help Wanted?

I don't think I really want one....a job, that is. But good heavens. Five straight days home for snow days can make a person really consider going back to work. I love my children with all of my heart. We are all doing our best to get  along and make the best of the situation...but I really feel like my kids aren't getting the best of me today. I've been a bit grumpy and snappy with them and it breaks my heart. BUT GOOD HEAVENS! WE HAVE HAD FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS OF SNOW!! Plus, the kids are only going to school two days this week because of parent teacher conferences. I will get a 30 minute break on Thursday -- total.

As we all know, I do not do well with dreary weather. Nor do I do well with hanging around the house all day long. I am just ready for an outing and something new to do. I'm also ready for children to stop hanging on me and whining and asking for snacks.

Whew. That was super whine-tastic. I hope you can forgive me for that. I just really wish my kids were at daycare right now and I was off doing some productive thing with grown ups. This feeling will pass. I promise. I much prefer being productive with my children, than without. I know that working moms often wish they could stay home on certain days or not miss the class parties or field trips. I wish there was a way to share a job with someone so that we could both get the perfect balance between staying home and working outside the home. Does that exist? If it does, I want one of those.

Thanks for listening. I'm feeling much better about the day. A little over two hours and my husband will be on his way home, dinner will be on the table, and all will be right with the world. But I better go now -- it's snack time again.
