Thank you so so much for those kind words today, I needed them! After a couple of days of being the only parent around here (Jon was out of town) and no school due to conferences, and two days of playdates at my house, I'm feeling a little worn out. Now I have a heap of "catch-up" work to do, but all I want is some down time. <br />Thank you for the support and reminding me to take care of myself too. :)<br />Also though, I feel like the "job" of a stay at home mother/housewife is not often seen as hard work. It's kind of "silent work" in many ways. Although my husband is very caring and appreciative of what I do, I think society in general does not see that it is a lot of work to be on your feet, vacuuming of doing laundry and all the errands and taxi driving , and constantly cooking and cleaning up etc etc.<br />It IS hard work, isn't it! <br />I love it with all my heart, but it is not a walk in the park.<br />Thank you again for your caring comment. I can't wait to post again soon. This weekend is full of Halloween activities and such, but I will start carving out so "me" writing time!<br />Thank you, you all make my life that much richer and full with your input and support.<br />xoxoxoxo!!!!<br />Lauren :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093968853372697053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-76904004456896662013-10-25T10:35:51.125-04:002013-10-25T10:35:51.125-04:00Lauren there is no harder job than being a stay at...Lauren there is no harder job than being a stay at home parent.

But if they do, they would look like yours). Second of all, I LOVE that you wrote about those annoying email mom conversations. Third of all, I also love that I am not the only one that has the running to-do list going through my head all the time.I found your blog because I'm going gray, but I love it because of your humor and relatability. So, I think you're awesome and your writing is awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! :-) Thank you.
