Work and life

by elizabeth on December 11th, 2007

This is shaping up to be one of those truly horrific weeks at work.

I don’t even want to speak to anyone after I get home, yet, the kids and the house still beckon.

I’m thinking husbands in the 1950’s had it good when they were greeted at the door after work with a drink and their slippers and were escorted into the study to “unwind”.

I wish I had a study.

    But then I probably wouldn’t respect her as much as I do now, so maybe I’ll just take a robot to do that.
