My Agenda

I start work tomorrow. I end work next Thurday. One of our church members owns a local college bookstore and asks me to work during Rush twice a year. So it starts tomorrow. At 10am. I get off at 3. It is pretty fun work! I get to talk to adults and sell things and work a register and talk to adults. hehehe. My mom watches my girls during this week of work, and when it is all said and done, I give her money and we usually go on a shopping trip. But the thing I love most about it is that it makes me appreciate so much that I get to stay home. So often I take for granted that I have time during the day to do laundry, clean, prepare meals, play with my babies. And this week of reality lets me see what it would be like to work outside the home. And it isn't easy. So to all you mothers who work outside the home.....Go you!! You are amazing women and deserve a great big pat on the back. And a vacation. :)

Thanks! I need a big pat on the back right now! Wowzers! What a week. I hope you enjoy your week of work. And that shopping spree!

Those last two sentences make me sorta want to call you a loser. :)
