another beautiful day... make lunches, argue about tooth brushing, see DH off to work, put lots of socks and assorted other laundry in the wash, step on a few Legos, and read the news where people do exciting things and change the world. i know being a mom is important and my "work" is valuable and very difficult, but is what you thought your life would be ??!!

I used to love my job and had been in quite a senior position but I got fed up with it for various reasons. I would much rather be at home and I dread the day I have to get another job. I'm really not sure what I would do. [ Reply | More

i understand your point but it doesn't help you to think about it like that. it is all a state of mind. and it can be a very temporary time when your kids are young. enjoy every second of the mundane because it will be over in a flash. oh and by the way, most people are not changing the world. you very well may be by raising your kids!
