Ladies, want your market value?
Well… I’m finally able to relax. I think the kids are in bed and exhausted enough to be asleep right now.. and it’s only 7:15 pm!! Yes… it’s been a LONG day… battles right and left with my boys… I have a little screaming princess who already thinks the world revolves around her…and I just want some peace and quiet because I’m still trying to heal from this week’s ailment (it seems I’m sick every week…). So I am very happy here at now 7:14 with no children to distract me from what I want to do… the house is totally silent…. it’s almost like my ears are ringing it’s so quiet. AHHHH …. I LOVE IT!
so that’s all tonight. I’m feeling better… tomorrow I will start back my weekly outings and bible studies. Chris is home more this week. I’m looking forward to it. Anyway… I just wanted to leave you guys with this little article my sweet husband cut out for me from I guess one of his Pediatric magazines. I thought it would bring a little encouragement and perhaps laughter to your day. I found it funny that Chris cut something like this out after having kept all three of ours for three whole days completely by himself….anyway…enjoy.
“If a stay-at-home mom could be compensated in dollars rather than personal satisfaction and unconditional love, she’d rake in a nifty sum of nearly $117,000 a year. That’s according to a pre-Mother’s Day study release Thursday by Salary.com, a Waltham, Mass. -based firm that studies workplace compensation. The eighth annual survey calculated a mom’s market value by studying pay levels for 10 job titles with duties that a typical mom performs, ranging from housekeeper and day care center teacher to van driver, psychologist and chief executive officer. One stay-at-home mom said the six-figure salary sounds a little low.”
Well, I’m going to enjoy my break… (notice I said break) see….I’m still on the clock… never know when a kid is going to need something during the middle of the night….we are on a constant “call” if you will….that’s a mommy ….24-7. Then again..as I’ve asked before… would we want it any other way?
