I know that I sound like a big ole whine bag...but I am. So here's my whine. I just started to work full time. That is going in everyday and staying all day. School hasn't started yet so it's not too stressful but I am afraid of what is to come. I have meetings to go to, which I hate by the way, emails to respond to, phone calls to take. People need to talk to me. I don't like it. I liked it better when I was on my own. I'm a maverick, a wild one, a rebel.
I have come to new respect for working mothers. You work hard, you come home, you work some more then you go to bed. I miss my kid free, husband free days. So anyway, not everyone in my home is adjusting as well to the changes that come with a working mom. Not everyone gets that having to leave in the middle of a meeting during your first week of work to get kids from school may be stressful. Not everyone understands that running errands for other members of the family and cleaning toilets and folding laundry are at the top of the list of things to do anymore.
The big issue right now is Girl Scout cookies. I will do as much( or as little) as I need to do to sell cookies. Not everyone in my family agrees with this philosophy. Not everyone in my family believes that doing the bare minimum to make a good showing for something that is meaningless in the grand scale of life is "good enough". However, when I pointed out that if not everyone liked the way I was doing things they were more than welcome to step in and take over. Not everyone liked that response.

Hang in there...I'd like to tell you it gets easier, but that first morning someone wakes up with a fever you just want to die, and then you feel like a schmuck for feeling PUT UPON (your husband may not feel put upon at all at your having to take a day off, cancel appointments, reschedule meetings, etc...)
so...It doesn't get easier, but...it doesn't really get harder, either.
