I have a perfectly flexible job. I get to spend 20 hours a week, any 20 hours, working remotely as a health physicist. But little ones who attend daycare get SICK, and daycare/preschools stay closed for a long time over the holidays, so my plan of having only 4-5 nighttime working hours each week (15-16 during childcare time) has been increased to 15 nighttime working hours each week. And nighttime working as a mother of little ones is not the same as nighttime working before little ones: there is a lot of laundry to do, and meals to fix, and house to clean after bedtimes. So even with the kindest neighbors and most helpful visiting parents, I'm tired of work.
Complaint posts are boring. No cute pictures. And, come on, there's really no time to complain here ... work needs to get done!
A friend of mine wrote a dissertation from 7 pm - midnight for months, after she put her 2 little boys to bed. While her husband was working at a start up.
I am in awe of the single parents out there holding it all together.
Yeah yeah, my life's pretty sweet, I know it.

you can do it love. sometimes the biggest part is just admitting how much it sucks and then you feel better. either way, the laundry can wait.
I feel you! And I don't even work 20 hours a week! I'm in "give up, I don't care" mode right now... I need to get motivated! I just can't get it all done... haha.. thanks for letting me vent on your blog. I think it's been a long holiday season (you know how busy you get with little ones plus you try to make fun memories at the same time, right?!?) and I think we're all tired and need a little vacation... wanna meet up in Vegas?? hehe :) Hope you're having a good day! Miss you friend!
