A little WHINE in the morning...
Original post by rojerono
Sooooo....
If one more person tells me 'Oh you must be so happy your son is finally in Kindergarten! That makes it sooo much easier/cheaper/whatever now!' I might hit them.
Yes. It would be easier IF I were a stay at home mom. YES ... it might be cheaper if I worked from 10-3 and didn't have another child in full day pre-school.
As it is....
I didn't get hom until almost 9 last night.
I was late to work.
I have ZERO gas because I haven't had time to stop for any.
I have to leave work at 3 to get my son at the bus stop, then bring him back to work until my FH can pick him up at 4:30.
I have to work until 6. Then I have to get home, feed the troops and get to Parent Night at the school by 6:45. After parent night I have to run to the store and pick up a nap mat, a pair of sweats and a blanket for my little guy for Wednesday. Then I have to get home - fo over whatever they brought home from school -with the obligatory oohing and ahhing... get their teeth brushed, faces washed, make sure everyone pees and has a glass of water. Then we have to get the bed time stories read, lullabyes sung, prayers prayed and goodnights said. THEN I have to shove a load of laundry in, prep dinner for Wednesday, make lunches for the next day and shower. After all this - I can sit at my PC, check for straggler work e-mails and maybe get some wedding planning done.
Is it ANY WONDER that I am soooo far behind on everything? There are all these posts about what people ARE having and are not having. Here is my answer. I am having NOTHING. Because I don't have time.![]()
Well... that felt a little better....
