I currently have the best job I've ever had. It is also the most difficult. I wake up at work. My power lunches usually involve peanut butter & jelly. It's exhausting, mentally and physically challenging, exasperating, and frustrating. It's also cozy, ego-boosting, and the most rewarding job I've ever had. I will retire only because the job has been done. Even then retirement will only be temporary, as I plan to do as much for any grand-kids that come my way as I can.
I work outside the home 2.5 days a week. On all but the most frustrating of weeks, the time spent at my 'job' is entirely too much. I prefer my vocation and it's title -- MOM.

Amen. I worked 80 hours a week when I was employed. I work more than that now with my children.
I was born to be a wife and mother and not an executive.

"I will retire only because the job has been done."
My Mom is 91 years old and I tell her she is still not done raising me. It is a permanent full time job.

By far yours is the most important job! God bless you "mom" and all like you.
