I say that with a smile on my face! This is my first time in a week ...maybe longer that I've been here on mylot. U see, I've been busy. Working and teacher conferences. Packing and cleaning and everything else in between. I've been up since 4 am driving to Austin for a dental surgery for my 1st grader. I'm soo very tired I can't sleep, does that make any sense?
Anyway my husband got a job in waco those other jobs out of state didn't work out for us so I think that's a good thing. So while he's working I'm taking care of the packing, the cooking, the cleaning and our girls! And it's not hard 
maybe a little stressful at times but its a breeze!
I got up this morning excersized for a half hour and then we left. I'm trying to be more healthier too....
I was surprised my husband came to see us this past weekend which is a good thing! He told me he thinks all my work is easy! It's easy to me because I'm used to it. Sure, sometimes I don't get to shower or shave or even eat. But I somehow find time to get that done and it dumbfounds him.
The other day I did get to go online but only for a few seconds and I don't even think that counts.
I also work too. But I haven't told him that. I know he's going to find out but before he does I'm going to tell him. Anyways it's late and I'm tire so I'm going to catch a few winks before daylight!

You such a superwoman. I am so happy to hear nice story. and what more is nicer in this story you were appreciated by your husband, and next your children. Did you say girls? wow, you will be a good role model to them too. Maybe you can partake a bit of your workload to them when they grow a bit older. Like, washing dishes or sweeping the floor, in this manner you will be also teaching them to have responsibilities and take this responsibilities seriously. I am so happy to hear this really, thank you. Yes, rest and have good time too. you deserve it.

Hello good friend! Ur the sweetest ever! My kids are indeed old enough to partake in house chores and I don't even have to ask but sometimes I do. My oldest is more like her father. They don't like cleaning but they don't mind making messes. To get her to clean I have to bribe her in some way. Like is at [i][/i]who wants to be my big helper and pick up the shoes or clothes [u][/u] they both say I will! I I hope they will never change. U know my youngest likes to help out more than her sister. She says she wants to be a big girl just like her sissy!!
And today I'm going to enjoy myself! I love my daughters but to day is my day! Alone. Maybe when we move closer to his family my alone time will be spent with hubby and wife time...I'll cross my fingers!

i do agree with you. a woman's job would never end moreover if she has a formal job. we know that career woman is common nowadays. most of women are well educated today that us why they don't want to just stay at home taking care of the family. they want to go out to get a god job and build a good career. even some of them have better carrier, of course better salary too, than their spouse. i have two jobs before i got married. yeah, i still have two jobs today but i plan to quit from one of my jobs in the end of this month. my husband asks me to be at home longer cos my daughter has been grown up and needs her mother's attention more than when she's still a baby. i agree with this that is why I will release my second job. i will still have one job and i hope i can be at home longer. my house chores are ignored during working days cos i always be tired every time i go home from my job. my husband takes a full job so it is impossible for him to help me doing house chores. so i should force myself to do chores in my spare times. it is often happened my husband asks me to cook cos he is hungry though it is already at 10pm or more. but nothing i can do except accept it as my duty as a wife. my husband doesn't push me to earn so he asks me to stay at home and let him search for money. yeah, he's right..

If he makes more money than you, maybe u should stay home and concentrate on the house and they duties of a housewife...that's what I would do. Like if my baby was a newborn I'd stay home and work on small jobs. My husband makes more than 50,000 a year and with both girls going to school I can work. My husband doesn't have to go to work till the afternoon so he can do a chore or two.
What does he do anyway? U should ask him to do some kind of housework. It'll help strengthen ur bond and help u so u won't have to do so much :)
Ur a strong woman but even strong woman need help getting things done!
Happy mylotting!!

i did. I will quit from my part time job -i do it in the afternoon- in January and i will only do my main job in morning. I'm a teacher at an Elementary school. my husband is a common employee and he earns not too big money. so i help him in earning my own money by having two jobs. but after some times i realize that having two jobs is really killing me so i decided to resign from one of them cos, beside it makes my body weak, i can't make good salary from them. so why should I sacrifice my body and time for something i can't enjoy? so i decide to resign. but i can't resign from my other job cos it can be stopped instantly because of one or two reasons. but fortunately it takes few hours a day so it won't weaken my body. i can't stop working and just stay at home instead. i need to share my knowledge with others and i need to have a community to share with.

I completely agree with you and understand what you mean. I often feel that I really can't handle anymore added to my plate. It is already overflowing with all that I have to get done. It is hard to balance everything there is too do. I hope that with time I will do a lot better at keeping up with EVERYTHING.
Right now I'm doing very good with the house,cleaning, cooking, etc. But I had to realize that I can't get everything done while my daughter is sleep.I have to schedule for her and I to do cleaning together as part of our schedule for the day.

You are right. That is why husbands should be more considerate to their wives. And actuallly, when it comes to work, i appreciate my mother more than my dad because my mother can do multitasking. She teaches students from eight to five in the afternoon and when she gets home, she do the cooking, dishwashing, cleaning the house, laundry and many other more. I love my mom.

Wow! Ur mom is quite an incredible person! Ur father I'm sure helps around when ur not there..right? I sure hope so.
My mom didn't do anything. She had her own army(us!) to do all she asked and then some. Actually my sister and I did everything from cooking to raising my brothers and sisters. I made a promise to myself that I would never be like her. Lazy and abusive. I'd work hard and be all that she wasn't.
And I kept that promise. It's almost been ten years and I'm still married and I have two woundeful beautiful girls who is our everything!

You're absolutely right. A mother's job is never over. It goes on and on. Some people think that since a full-time mother (which I am) stays at home, we have it easy. Let them try for a day and they will know how difficult it can get.
You're so amazing. Being able to look after your kids and still work. That must drain up all your energy. I'm a full-time housewife and mother, so I actually do have a bit of free time to go online every now and again throughout the day.

Let them try, indeed! They wouldn't last hehehehe!! Today I am going to spend a few hours alone to myself...it's still early but I'm going a shower and get dressed and go see my friend and see a movie or two! The house is going to get trashed but that's ok! I don't know when he'll decide to come see us again so while he's here I'm going to take advantage of him. In a good way too ;)

It's a good thing that you stay busy and it sounds like your a good mom and wife. Keep up the good work and take some time for yourself :)
