Work and Life



It is hard to balance work and life at home. I always need to leave work at 5pm. I dont like leaving the perception that I am just 8-5. But life beckons. My son is ravenous when I get him at 5:30. There is literally only 5 minutes to fix dinner when we get home. Frozen chicken cooked in the microwave and frozen broccoli. Good thing that he will eat the same thing every night. Well as long as there is ranch dressing. I give 110% while I am at the office. I don't leave anything un-done. Usually get to work by 7:30. But I still fell guilty leaving at 5. There are times when I have had to stay later to make sure that something was completed, and I do that.

I ask you, how do you make a good impression at work and take care of your family when you are a single mom?

One of the hardest things in life is trying to establish that HOME is much more important than WORK. And I can only imagine that being a single mother how you are not addicted to some kind of pharmaceutical drug yet. I commend you on the words, thoughts, feelings and emotions you can put down in this blog. I hate it for you that some other individual out there does not see the fantastic things that I see in you. If I were of the opposite sex, baby, you'd be mine!
I know that it is very hard to be in a position such as yours and still have time to sit down, cook a good well balanced meal, do homeowrk, bathe, then get him to sleep. But I know on a personal basis that you are doing a fantastic job. He is a very well mannered, very well like little gentleman.
Every single, over 35, making 5 to 6 figure salary, and not drinking or drugges out male should be at your doorstep banging it down.
You are quite the catch.
