AKA: a certain number of things I need written in a week, etc. Still considered full time, but 40 exact hours? Not really. It sort of ebbs and flows from week to week. And mommy wars? pshhh. Who has time for that, right? :) xoKatie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-48756300387558163172013-12-03T14:48:19.014-05:002013-12-03T14:48:19.014-05:00i know exactly how you feel. exactly. thanks for s...i know exactly how you feel. exactly. thanks for sharing.Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-54606178145287580722013-11-27T22:57:01.193-05:002013-11-27T22:57:01.193-05:00I also appreciate this perspective.

I work two part time jobs, one at the hospital ER at night and one on a college campus that is self scheduled-some stuff I do there, some from home. I'm constantly feeling torn. I work nights, so I can be home during the day, but I'm sometimes bitter when work cuts into my family time. It's sometimes hard to remember that even though I'm the one home with my kids 95% of the time (they go to preschool 4 hours a week so I can sleep), I don't have the freedom to say my time is really my own. My jobs sometimes put other things into my schedule that feel like they're taking away from my family time and my family time means I don't always get a good night of sleep after working all night or get to do fun work activities. It's a hard balance, but in the end, I'm thankful that I get to be there for important milestones and I'm proud that I provide my family with important things like health insurance.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149271294595447912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-24428589570685262772013-11-25T00:29:12.672-05:002013-11-25T00:29:12.672-05:00My hat is off to you.

I, however, can leave work at work most of the time--so I wonder if that is a trade off. It is great that we now have options! Anyway, great job, you left the mommy war crap out of your post and gave a good description of your life.

With most of my friends being working (away from home) mom's, I find it hard to talk about the daily struggles (ex: trying to find time for work when my toddler doesn't want to nap) and benefits (if it's been a rough night or 'morning' sickness takes over, being able to take a break at nap time [if it happens that day]...leeshiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521714108503109653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-76867136552227707572013-11-21T14:47:42.354-05:002013-11-21T14:47:42.354-05:00awesome :) thank you molly! awesome :) thank you molly!

I'm kind of terrified, but have started making changes that should help the transition. In all my reading and preparing (although really I don't think I can be truly prepared until it happens) I've found a common thread that there is no true balance and that is ok/normal. I'm going to try my best to keep my head on!
