Amen to that!<br /><br />haha venting always feels good doesn't it? ;)saraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11695640236818490412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397090384577196931.post-58843206640714468892009-09-03T14:10:48.538-07:002009-09-03T14:10:48.538-07:00I am coming to see you.

I've had a lot...I really like what Salime said. I've had a lot of similar thoughts about how I don't have any "accomplishments" since college (except all the ones you listed.) Sometimes when I feel a little insecure, I marvel at how self-assured I once was, and I have to ask, WHY did I have such strong self-confidence back then? And it was because I based it on measurable accomplishments, like straight A's, and making the sports teams, and getting voted as "Most...whatever"...and those days are all gone. So I have deeper issues with this than just a resume, but either way, at least know that we understand.Heather Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268990596908272532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397090384577196931.post-28104848036782680192009-09-02T14:42:42.736-07:002009-09-02T14:42:42.736-07:00I worked with countless women in Washington, DC th...I worked with countless women in Washington, DC that CHOSE to be at work over being at home (they don't really need the money at all and worked to pay for a nanny) One of my coworkers was SICK with the flu or something and she came to work instead of staying home because she thought it was "too distracting" and "too hard" to be at home. Whatev... don't mention that they have full-time help to do everything!! Hard? Oh, I'm so sorry that you have a nanny.<br /><br />Anyway, I digress. I think you are such a fabuloso mother and your children are darling and so awesome. And I think you are well-spoken, intelligent, interesting to talk to, have things to add to discussions - aside from all your mommy talk. I think this is a huge accomplishment when your life consists of taking care of children 24/7! You, in one breath, are more interesting than most women I worked with. Talk about BORING!! Who really wants to talk about lame work stuff when real life is way more exciting??<br /><br />What job, yo? I see a couch and some living room furniture at the end of the tunnel! :-)Liliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716647593530914192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397090384577196931.post-62857780006961322902009-09-02T14:17:09.703-07:002009-09-02T14:17:09.703-07:00totally know what you mean!!! its harder to be at ...totally know what you mean!!! its harder to be at home with kids than it is surfing the internet at a job.

Ya know I sit at home eatin bonbons with the kids and only work 10 hours in the real world. Well listen up folks..... my work at home is far more challenging than the outside world. (However, I should include that it is also far more rewarding at times too.) NO ONE..... I repeat NO ONE that hasn't been a stay at home mom/dad can fully understand how draining/challenging/emotional/pain-ful/overwhelming/ etc. this stayin at home buis is.<br />Go ahead.... put me down as a referel.

That fear is one of the reasons I really wish we could get a housekeeper....

I have told Jimmy so many times in the past 2 years that if I were to join the working force again full time without the worries of having a little one at home or daycare and knowing and having done what I have done since I am a mom, I would be 100% better at any job than I was before. Why? because being a mom is harder... physical and psychologically harder. I do speak 3 languages, I have owned my own business, I've had the duties of an scheduling manager, I have traveled for work, etc, etc, and I assure you... what I am doing now (with just one son) has been harder than any of the things above. You can't fire your kids or husband, you can't quit, you can't call in sick, you can't take a bathroom break, you can't enjoy your lunch hour, and you don't get paid!!!!Salimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446924895532352891noreply@blogger.com
