Bitchings of a homemaker

24-7
that's how it goes
up with the sun
till sleep breathing blows
Always available
at the drop of a hat
if not things get tricky
how crappy is that
The line it is murky
independence the plan
on she grows upward
to stand in the clan
Then the house
and the hubby
plus the dog
always grubby
With my college degree
and a career in the past
you'd think I'd be sailing
not lashed to the mast
24-7
I think, plan, and run
must balance this act
or my health be undone

There's always time to go back to work, and no one ever kicks themselves up over a few years spent out of the workforce, but if you give up this opportunity to homeschool your daughter...well, that's an opportunity that won't happen again in ten years.

oh, I'm not going anywhere. There is not a shred of thought about changing my homemaker/homeschooling status. Believe me on that one. And at the same time there are parts that need tweeking, duties to be shared a bit better, and breaks to be had on a frequent basis. Oh yeah, and that's where I'm at right now: the re-shifting phase.

"My other blog" huh? I'm smiling. Sounds like a good idea. All sorts of new things happening for you these days. Good to see there maybe a place I can read about them! :)
