Back to school for all three of my children. I hear so many people tell me how relieved they are that their kids are back at school, but this year, for the first time, I don't share those sentiments. I have been back to work, working in an actual office, not as a freelancer, for almost exactly a year and boy did I miss out on a lot of stuff this summer. Don't misunderstand, I like working, even though my company is going through a couple of rough spots and I am looking for a new job, but the idea of leaving the house to work is attractive to me. I just couldn't do as much with my children this summer and it bothers me. This was the first time I had to send them to YMCA camps, the first time I didn't get to just sleep in with them, have a day at the pool... very sad really. It is so difficult for women, we want to work, contribute to the "household", but then we miss out on so much because of it. Being a woman is such a double edged sword at times...
Oh and please all you men, taking that breath, ready to blast me, I didn't say it was easy for you...
