And the perks (sloppy kisses and flowers picked from a neighbor's yard, anyone?) help too. Thanks for stopping by, PhD. :) Absolutely, they are.

But the dividends are worth it in the end... :) Ah yes, the job that pays less than any other and that you cannot quit! But the dividends are worth it in the end… :)

Just gave me inspiration to do a series of posts about my previous life as a retail slave (having just finished a series of posts about working in the library, I needed something a little bit more off the wall). Many, many thanks for the inspiration. I'll make sure to give credit where credit is due. Gracias. Nice post.

But it is just so. damn. hard. And the rewards are so far away. I know I will miss them being little; having a teenager has shown me that. But I've been a mom for almost half my life now, and I still have about 18 years to go before they are (probably) out of the house. Good lord. Why'd I have to go and say that? I think I need a drink.

At work, I often got to go to the bathroom all by myself. I sometimes got to eat a meal sitting down. I was occasionally even told I did a good job. With mom at work all day, that means kids are out of the house, too, so there is less mess. I know the grass is always greener, but I've eaten on both sides of the fence. Yum.

Not that it's any less stressful, gawd knows that it isn't...but because it's far more rewarding...and important work. p.s. You'll miss the "Mommmeeeeeeeeeee!" someday :-) As a stressed-out member of the corporate bureaucracy, I have to say I’d rather have been home with the kids….washing, cleaning, cooking and hearding cats.

However husband suffers from social anxiety... (fear of work) so he stays home instead. All I can say is you're the luckiest girl I kinda know... Does that make sense?
