Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go!

Well, I did it. I went out and got myself a J.O.B. Yessir, that's a true statement. I didn't know when I would go back, or if I would go back, but one more day in this house obsessing about the treadmill and food, or watching re-runs of Wife Swap and I might have off'd myself. There is only so much cleaning and yoga'ing I can do before I lose my mind and join one of those online survey companies that pay you in spam mail and false promises.


So, Monday morning I will slip into a pair of big girl panties and high heeled shoes, put on a skirt and some eyeliner and rejoin the world of the working. I think it will be good for me. It is only part time and it's close to home and all the naysaying whores with an opinion can shut their puckered pieholes about me being a stay at home mom. Because apparently all of us SAHM's do nothing but lounge in slinky, satin lingerie on the couch, while eating bon bon's and watching soaps. The fact that everyone has clean clothes to wear, dinner on the table, a clean house and all errands run must be done by the magic Fairy I carry in my back pocket. Well, let me tell you, I sat on that little Fairy Bitch long ago, and what I have done for the last year WAS work.


I get to make sure my kids get off to school, I will be home when they get home from school, and I won't have to miss one single sporting event, dance class, school concert or Science Fair. Plus, I get to continue to hone my skills and be around people who want to talk about things other than math homework and teenage boys.


So, I am off to rearrange my closet to get all my "work" clothes together (the ones left that fit me anyway!), and dust off my high heels so I can get out there and be a productive member of society again. Wish me luck!

  1. Sheesh ...being a productive employed member of society is highly over rated in my opinion,because that bon bon eating soap watching lifestyle looks pretty good to me. Let me at the sahm thing if that's true. Good luck Lisa with this exciting adventure and congratulations on your new job. Would you care to share what you'll be doing?

  2. The SAHM gig definitely had its perks! I will be doing accounting work. Accounts payables, receivables and payroll. All the things I love doing most!

  6. I've been SAHM, full time working mom, full-time with crazy insane overtime working mom, and part-time working mom. PTWM worked the very best. It's a great compromise. Good luck Ninja
