A quick vent!

Sometimes I wonder to myself why I am so stressed out, but then I remember all of the jobs that I fill:

- a loving wife to my husband
- a loving mother to my son
- a diligent employee to my boss
- an easy-going co-worker to my colleagues
- a not-too-demanding boss to my assistant
- an on-time parent to my babysitter
- a cool, calm, collected taxi cab to my son
- a feeding hand to my dogs
- a phone call to my sister
- an available dinner date to my friends
- a dutiful daughter to my parents
- a happily married woman to my in-laws
- an appointment scheduler to the whole family
- a financial wizard to my checkbook
- a filing queen to all my bills
- a maid to my home
- a never-fast-enough-finisher to all my laundry
- a rare walk to my dogs
- a happy playmate to my son
- a fun babysitter to my niece & nephew
- a concerned ear to my friends
- an evening snuggle mate to my husband
- an energetic participant in my work-out routine
- a healthy eater to my body
- a master chef to my family
- a Mommy & me Friday Funday to my son
- a recently re-invented property manager to my tenants
- a kept home to my neighbors
- a loving, encouraging, available listener to my husband & son
- an incredible balancing act for my family

And the list goes on & on & on & on & on & on.... Why in today's world is the mother expected to be 50% of the income, but 95% of the home life and still expected to keep her life de-stressed and keep her sanity in check?

After writing all of these, I realize why I am so stressed 90% of the time. But, this is my life, and of course, I wouldn't have it any other way. :-)
