It's been one of those weeks, yes I feel like a chicken with my head cut off! I don't know if it's because I took a couple days off last week and this has been my first full week in two weeks...or maybe because Bob has been in Washington for the week, enjoying yummy steak meals or eating at the Cheese Cake Factory while we eat frozen dinners? We can't wait for Sutton's restaurant to open again!
Whatever it may be I'm looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday and enjoying a couple days off of work.
I was watching the nightly news tonight and they did a segment on Mother's in America. The report was on how women in this country don't have a lot of opportunities to work part time and most work full time leaving them feeling drained and not having a lot of time for family. HELLO! Why didn't they interview me! The Chicken with her head in one hand and a pile of everything else in the other!!! Did they not see me running down the road with a sign that said, "will work part-time".....
I think if I was a working woman with no children, I would tune that story out and not even take a glance and unfortunately that is a huge problem. Why, you may ask? Well let me tell you, because there are a lot of women that are supervisor's out there that may not have kids who can not relate to the difficulties of handling both a career and family and well, maybe those women didn't even flinch at that story?
It has once again been left up to the mother's of this world to come together and fight for what is right. Boo hoo some may say, and I ask them.....do you have a child(ren) and work full time...no they would say and I would say, "well, let's talk when you do"! :-) And as I'm sure the conversation would go back and fourth.
And that's the way the cookie crumbles folks!
