Since I last posted. Actually I never seem to post anywhere except at work. I lost half my lunch hour mid april to the needs of the child. I really miss my lunch hour. Oh the naps I had, the powerful errands I've run . I barely have time to go out and get a lunch come back and eat it. I won't have a lunch hour again for oh say like 10 years. I'll be in my 40's then and maybe, hopefully, still working in the same place.
I'd really like a lunch hour and a half. Enough time to get home eat and return to work. The dogs would love it, but it would be a 30 minute lunchbreak at home with 30 minutes travel each way (about). I can dream these simple dreams but I can't work 8 - 5:30. My child, my unborn child, my dogs need- no they must be tended to.
I look at all these younger people with no responsibilities beyond coming to work and paying their personal bills and I'm not jealous, I think knowing what they will in some way go though and the path to acceptance of these constant grinding responsibilities. I tell myself I'm not enslaved or chained or in any way suppressed, oppressed or burdened. My mantra is "you wanted these things that depend on you, this is what that means" and I'm all better. It's just sometimes I recall my glorious hour long lunches, I was superman then.
