I thought I was taking a VACATION!

Most of you will be following the next few posts on Jesse's Blog. So I must begin by saying that I will be returning to work to recuperate from the full time job of parenting. I must also state that whom ever said that boys are easy must have only had a teen aged children and skipped right over the toddler years. Wow!!!, can they move fast when they want something and I think that they are able to grow additional arms, legs, hands, and feet while throwing tantrums or while walking through a store or gift shop.

A "Stay at Home Mom" is a full time career... it's "job" description/requirements should go something like this:

Negotiating Skills Needed!
Time Management and Organizational Skills NEEDED!
Patience is a much needed virtue.
Must Be "On Call" 24/7...NO EXCEPTIONS!
Vacations... Not eligible for the first 12-15 yrs.
Sick Time... Are you kidding?
Pay... __________________________________
Room and Boarding Included.
Cooking Skills a Plus!

It's funny how simple things like a vacation and "family time" can REALLY make you appreciate your wife...I have always said "She is worth far more than I could ever pay", but even I didn't really understand until I "had" to "help" take care of our children 24/7 without going to work for a break!
