I was going to title this post Work Woes but with that heading, who would read it? We all have work woes. The I don't want to leave my precious children for nine hours work woes. The I am completely undervalued in my workplace work woes. The when are people going to realize that we are all professionals in the same boat? work woes. The I haven't been able to stretch this paycheck to last two weeks since I can remember work woes. The but I still have to spend my own money to supply the essentials at work woes. The my children are my number one priority but if I don't spend more time at my desk we're all going to be living out of the backseat of the car* work woes. The I need to stop complaining because it does no good work woes. And finally, the it's time to stop blogging about this and get ready for work woes.
*Don't worry, Jon, it really is a Hyundai and it has a windshield
I hear ya! Wouldn't it be nice to have a dual income family? How much easier would it be? But, then again, it's all worth it when we see those smiling faces when we get home.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you do specifically but if you're in the line of early intervention somehow then YES, you work far too hard and are far too underpaid. I, for one, really appreciate all you do for our kids who need you. I know that doesn't help leaving your boys all day long, but I know there are people out there who value all that you do!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's just the tip of the work woes iceberg!! Hang in there, you're doing amazing work at both your jobs, at home and outside the home. Hugs, to you. Big ones.
ReplyDeleteSing it, sister! I'm right there with you, sharing every single woe you mentioned. For me it's the what-do-we-do-about-the-students-who-show-up-at-school-drunk-or-high woe, and add to that parents in jail, sexual abuse, gang involvement, parents accused of neglect, runaways, depression...and that's just this year. *sigh* Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteThere are too many things to be woeful about...I try to think of the good things and go from there...otherwise it can be too overwhelming!
