So tomorrow marks a first for me, I am going back to work and really not too excited about it. I started working over 20 ears ago I stopped briefly when my son was born but was back at it with two years. I stopped working again 3 years ago and had become very comfortable being a homemaker. But try as I might this recession has put a stop to my homemaking dreams. I felt that if both parents worked full time who would be the parents full time? Who's going to make dinner? Who's going make sure we don't run out of band-Aids? Or make sure everyone has clean socks? Who is going to make sure all the bills get paid? small things I know, However These things used to be my responsibility. I think I will pretend I am my husband for the first two weeks. This is what I am most excited about, here my plan. When I get home I will Let everyone know I have worked very hard and just need a few minutes of quiet, oh and what's for dinner? then I will plop myself on the couch, flip the TV on a put something so totally not appropriate for a 7 year old on and then wait to be called for dinner and my hot plate of food with all my extra things like a big drink, hot sauce and anything else I can think of just as my husband starts to sit down. I know us women are supposed to be happy about this whole equal roll crap. I don't like it. I enjoy not rushing around for everything all the time. I will be reporting back soon as head into the trenches of my dual roll of professional working mom and wonder woman, because apparently that's what it takes to do both.
