Sterile…ha!

Did I tell you I had my tubes severed 4 weeks ago with my latest addition…because I sooooo knew there would be no increase for me this year, not even to cover the increased cost of living.

And Hell, I’d take a S anydays b/c today is the first time in 4 weeks that I felt like I was an S. Mostly they have been big fat F’s.

CK! This post was so fun and funny! When will you run out of creativity?!?! You are across the boards! Your children will grow up to be little Ken Burnses

Well done! Here’s a raise! Oh wait, I don’t have any money.

Ok, I’ll give you my respect instead. And I will, um, bow when you walk by. In cyberspace.

The sterile part is the most important. In my eyes, people with more than two kids are insane. And my husband and I are both the youngest of three so it’s a good thing my parents had a different way of thinking. We had a little snippety snip procedure done on Jamie back in March.

You’re doing great and I envision you being with the company for a long time to come.

I think you’re doing a fabulous job. I think the boredom, for a smart woman who is used to planning, engaging in, and completing her own projects, is unavoidable ad a sign that you are an adult not a child. I, too, feel the guilt for not *wanting* to engage more, rather than guilt for not engaging more.

Here’s the thing. Life’s cruel. And the fact that you’re not always, always, always availabe actually teaches them that things won’t always go their way. You run when they’re hurt, or when they need you. If they want you to play, and you give in 75% of the time, I think you get an Exceptional. If you were playing with them 100% of the time, they would never learn how to play by themselves, or with their peers. Because you’re WAY too fascinating.

If I were them, I’d want to play with you all the time, too. But we can’t always get what we want, now can we?

Homemade yogurt pops, babe. Always there, always healthy, always able to boost your B to an A.

All in all sounds like a job well done. I’d say you were in line for a promotion.

Since you’re a long term employee, I think you could negotiate more aggressively for coffee breaks, vacation time and general employee satisfaction factors! Maybe your co-worker husband can work with you on those! Or you could rein in a third babysitter part-time temporary worker

I am a huge multi-tasker too. It’s hard to sit back and just hang with the kids.

I’m not much for playing, and my patience, well, let’s see. I don’t have any. So, I would have to say that you’re doing a mighty superb job.
