As a work at home mom….you’re constantly being torn between domestic work, child rearing and job-work.
Do you throw in a load of laundry, start fixing dinner, try and write a blog post or help someone with their homework?
It’s a constant mix of work….work…..and work. I’m not saying it’s bad…..but I am saying it’s exhausting.
Now….don’t get all bent if you work outside the home and feel just as much pressure. I got that. I do. But if you were
working at home….you’d find yourself pulled in a lot more directions. Even when I was on-air in radio with a huge
board in front of me, CD players stacked high….maybe guests in the studio, the phone ringing, contests to prep for….a show to prep for….I did not feel as pulled. That was cake compared to being a work at home mom.
So….here I sit….11:30PM and I’m tired. I’ve not really had any down time to speak of today and I really need to get to “work”. Just like this post….what am I going to write about? I don’t have any ideas. I feel to tired to research something or to try and be witty. The kids have been home for weeks on Christmas break and now they’ve been home all week for snow. I’m getting “twitchy” and easily annoyed. I was startled today by a dust bunny in the corner of the stairs. I swear I thought it was a rat….a BIG rat. Nope….just cat hair, dog hair, people hair, dust….dirt. Yuck. Do I stop what I’m doing to drag out the vac and get it? But wait…I need to fix dinner….or maybe feed the dog…..or the cats…kids….get groceries….the toilet is plugged up. Damn….the battery in the car is dead?? Dentist appointments in the morning….don’t forget that poster board for the history project your daughter is doing……blah blah blah blah blah…..
Yep…I’m tired. I can’t think anymore.
So good night.
Sleep well.
Even you dust bunny.
