Are you always on duty, or do you get to have a rest occasionally ?

Answer 1

Wow! For me this is a great question.

I'm ALWAYS (did I capitalize always), on duty. I never get to rest. Or at least I haven't in the past three years. Since my youngest was born, I feel like I have to be superwoman . . . working, cooking, cleaning, entertaining . . . But when I voice that to others they act like it's all nothing. Honestly, I'm exhausted!! Not to mention the fact that in addition to all of that, I've had a variety of other tragic things to happen in my life.

Thanks for allowing me to vent. I appreciate it. =)
